Dylan Taunton & Gabrielle (Ferrara) Taunton: Class of 2013 & 2014

Dylan and I (Gabrielle) started dating in June of 2013 - right as Dylan was graduating from MHS and headed off to Auburn University for college! Our first date was at what *used to be* Drip Coffee, right on the Green. We dated from June to September of 2013. In September, Dylan and I decided to go our separate ways, as a long distance relationship was becoming difficult to manage. We lost contact for almost 3 years. I went to college at the University of Miami beginning in the Fall of 2014, and Dylan continued his studies at Auburn.

In June of 2016, I was working at a summer internship and was bored one day. I decided to send a "mass Snapchat" to lots of people on my contact list, and checked off Dylan's name because "why not?" To my surprise, Dylan replied almost instantly - we started Snapchatting, then texting, and soon reconnected in person. We started dating again and picked up right where we had left off in 2013. We were both still in college, so we once again decided to give the long-distance relationship thing a try. From 2016-2019, Dylan and I dated long distance.

By 2019, we were both living back in Morristown with our families. I was pursuing a Masters degree in Social Work at Rutgers and Dylan was working locally. In October 2020, Dylan proposed on the Morristown Green - right across the street from where Drip Coffee used to be - our first date spot from 2013! In 2021, we bought our first house in Denville, NJ. We got married in June of 2022 and we welcomed our son - Mason - in December 2023. And then in January 2024, the three of us moved down to Tampa, Florida, where Dylan got a job working for Titleist! We currently are still living in the Tampa, FL area. Dylan is working for Titleist, I am a therapist and own a private practice, and our son Mason is a very busy, awesome 1 year old. We are so grateful to Morristown and Morristown High School for being the starting place of our story! (Enjoy the pics - one of them is from Dylan's high school graduation in 2013!)
