Alicia's Version: Returning to work from a vacation, TY greeted me with the biggest smile. He was constantly asking to take me out and for my number. I politely declined each time, lol. Every time he saw me, he would stare and smile, tell me how cute I was, and how he loved my smile with my braces. I removed my braces, and when I returned to work, he was the very 1st one to notice. We became friends and used to talk at work daily, giving each other life advice, etc. Soon after, we began to see each other as more than friends and decided to pursue "US" further. We started hanging out outside work with other friends and couples on outings. When we agreed that we were ready, we made it official on 03/11/2021. Things moved faster than planned; we got a positive pregnancy test and welcomed our son into this world soon after. Coming up on our 1st official year anniversary on 03/11/2022, Ty planned a beautiful night and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Here we are: 3 children, countless date nights, a new addition to the family, one home purchase, two dogs, and three years later, getting ready to tie the knot.

Tyler's Version: How I met my Wife. So, I started a new job, and eventually, after orientation and training, they placed me in my cottage where I would be working and introduced myself to everyone. Alicia was on vacation and was the only one I still had to meet… A few days go by, she shows up, and I see this beautiful woman with braces and a “to die for” smile … From that day to this one, I was hooked … I repeatedly complimented her and showed interest, but I was often shot down! I’ll never forget the 1st time I asked her for her number… lol. But soon after, we became good friends and talked all the time. I made sure to rub it in when I finally got her number! Eventually, we started hanging out outside work and getting to know each other. She was perfect in my eyes. I began to love everything about her, and on 3/11/22, I asked her to be more than just my friend. Everything began to move fast, and I started spending so much time with her and the kids that Tia asked me to stay for 100 days! Lol, so I did! When the 100 days were up, I came to Tia and said, “Well, it’s time for me to go home. My 100 days are up.” She replied, “I said 100 days!? I meant 100,000 days! In those 100,000 days, I fell in love with Alicia and her family. Then, one night, I got home from work, and I could tell Alicia had something on her mind. She told me she was pregnant, and I was excited about my first child! The baby shower came around, and those fireworks turned blue! Man, oh man, I couldn’t wait to meet Tyler Jr! I realized how happy I was. How glad she made me. How good it felt to be around her. I started catching feelings I never felt before, and I knew this was IT almost instantly! I need to ask this woman to marry me!
