Claudia proposed to Taylor in a field of lavender on the tip of Long Island. Taylor explained, “I didn’t think it was right that I just accept the proposal and don’t get to ask her myself too. I wanted to propose.” So she did, a few weeks later to an unsuspecting Claudia at Domino Park in Brooklyn, where they spend a lot of time with their pitbull, Mello.
They celebrated their engagement with photos in the Dumbo neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, at sunrise on a hot summer morning.
