Tyler and Carrie met in June 2018... just one month after Carrie made the move from Northern Virginia to Charleston, South Carolina. The two met through mutual friends on one of Ty's good friend's boat (we know, very Charleston-esque), and even though they immediately had a connection, the two didn't start officially dating until the fall. On October 29, 2018, Ty asked Carrie to be his girlfriend while watching one of her favorite movies (Armageddon) and eating one of her favorite foods (homemade mac-n-cheese). Less than a year later they moved in together, creating a blended family with Ty's dog Sweetie and Carrie's cat Linus. And a few months later the two welcomed their youngest fur-baby, Marbles, to the family! Fast forward to the summer of 2022, the two bought a new house together. Then in a very surprising and special moment, after over four years together, Ty asked Carrie to marry him on New Years Eve 2022 - hiding the ring in an oyster shell, surrounded by friends and family. Ty and Carrie chose Sunday, October 29, 2023 as their wedding day because this day will mark five official years together, turned into forever.
