Amber and Tyler met at their alma mater, the University of Florida, likely sometime in 2011. Though the details are unclear, we can assume it was at a football game and Tyler was making a great first impression in his fruit hat. Though they continued to interact through mutual friends, they did not date. Life moved on, both graduated and began careers. In 2017, fate brought them together with both living and working in Orlando, Florida. Tyler reached out to Amber to reconnect, and they had their first "not date" at Bulla Gastrobar in Winter Park. Their first "real" date was to see The Book of Mormon—Amber saved and framed the playbill. Fast forward through moving in together, adopting their pup Mochi and living through a pandemic, Tyler proposed to Amber on a moonlit sail in St. Augustine.
