Our love story started in October of 2022, when we met and instantly connected. From the beginning, it felt easy and familiar. As we got to know each other, we realized just how many times our lives had almost crossed growing up — like the universe was weaving our paths together for years, just waiting for the right moment to bring us face-to-face. Tyler was first drawn to Carly’s warmth, the way she always smiled, how she laughed at his jokes, and how she found joy in the little things. He admired her determination and how she carried herself with grace and direction. Carly was drawn to Tyler’s deep-rooted values, his love for family, the quiet strength he brings, and the way he carries himself: steady, kind, and genuine. He made her feel safe, seen, and supported (and also happened to be incredibly handsome.) Our time together since has been full of joy, road trips, concerts, days at the lake, and quiet nights under the stars. More than anything what we’ve built is steady, supportive, and a true partnership. On April 19, 2025, Tyler planned a spontaneous day trip to Flathead Lake in Montana. Carly was slightly suspicious, but the moment still caught her by surprise. Just the two of them, surrounded by trees, Tyler got down on one knee… and froze. After a few silent seconds (and a classic Carly tease: “Isn’t this the part where you’re supposed to say something?”), he asked her to marry him. Carly said yes without hesitation and the rest is history. We are so grateful for this life we’ve built — full of support, adventure, and a love that feels like home. And we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you.
