They both grew up in Findlay, Ohio but it wasn't until high school when their paths crossed for the first time in Roxanne's honors chemistry class. Tyler claims he was trying to "flirt" with Amber...she doesn't recall any flirting happening. After college, through mutual friends, they both met up in Findlay for drinks - not with each other of course - yet, somehow, Tyler managed to take Amber to her home safely and get her number. They started texting and Amber asked Tyler to come home so she could meet his cute puppy, Henry! That was the start of Tyler traveling back and forth to see Amber every week from Cincinnati to Findlay so she and Lily could play with Henry.

Amber got a job in Jacksonville, Florida and when the time came to move, Tyler helped drive her stuff down in his car AND talked to her on the phone the whole way down! For the next year and a half they would have a long distance relationship. Tyler then moved down to Jacksonville only to move away again six months later for another year of long distance. After that year, Tyler had decided once and for all that he had had enough and wanted to be with Amber for good. He quit his aerospace test engineering job and took a sales engineering job in a completely different field just to live with Amber in Jacksonville. Seven months later he proposed in her dream spot in Rocky Mountain National Park.
