Their eyes locked at a party during their freshman year at the University of Florida and they’ve been together ever since. “After a night out, Carlos would drive me back to my dorm and we’d sit in the car talking so long, the battery would die,” laughs Taryn. The long talks and fun times lasted through college, graduate school and a long-distance stint.
