Tyler and I first crossed paths in high school, never imagining that years later, fate would bring us back together. Life reunited us on social media — Snapchat, of all places — and from the very first conversation, it felt effortless. At the time, I was living in New York City and Tyler in Connecticut, so a relationship didn’t seem practical, but our connection was undeniable. I remember telling Tyler I wasn’t looking for anything serious. Instead, we nurtured a friendship built on trust, laughter, and shared moments. A year later, that friendship blossomed into love. Our first vacation together — a cruise to the Virgin Islands — became the turning point. Surrounded by turquoise waters and endless skies, we officially started dating, and I told Tyler I loved him for the first time. In that breathtaking setting, everything felt perfectly in place. Since then, our adventures have taken us to countless places, creating memories that fill our hearts. On a trip to Puerto Rico, as the sun dipped behind the mountains and Silver Lake shimmered beneath us, Tyler asked me the most important question of our lives. I said yes, and in that moment, we stepped into the next chapter of our story — a chapter we get to share with our family and friends. We are so excited to celebrate our love with you, and to begin this journey as husband and wife surrounded by the people who mean the most to us.
