aylor Sigmon and Jonah Wood’s
love story began with a high school rivalry. Taylor attended Orange High School, and Jonah went to Cedar Ridge High School. They frequented the same sporting events and ran in the same social circles. But it wasn’t until mutual friend Lani Rountree encouraged the two to spend more time together that they hit it off. The couple started dating during Taylor’s senior year while Jonah worked for Chapel HillCarrboro City Schools. In 2020, while Taylor graduated high school and moved to attend Coastal Carolina Community College in Jacksonville, North Carolina, Jonah headed to Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island, South Carolina. On Sept. 6, 2020, Jonah surprised Taylor by
getting down on one knee at the Beaufort Docks while on the way to dinner with friends. Taylor and Jonah were married on June 12, 2021, at Cates Farm at Cane Creek. After a week of heavy rain, the weather turned out to be perfect for the big day. Parents Shannon Berry, Ronnie Sigmon, Kimberly Wood and Josh Wood, along with the couple’s friends and family, joined them in celebrating. Flower boys and groomsmen Jackson Wood and Braxton Ragan helped make the ceremony even more special with a fun entrance to Billy Squier’s “The Stroke” while tossing flowers from their fanny packs. Taylor describes it as a “day of tears, smiles and laughter.” The newlyweds live in Beaufort, South Carolina. CHM January/February 2022
