Cassie had been living away from the Spokane area for many years. Beginning of 2022, she moved back to the Spokane area. After moving back, her aunt Jeania made it her mission to find Cassie a boyfriend. In November, Stacey, Cassie’s uncle, who is a captain for Southwest Airlines, happened to be assigned a 4 day trip (series of flights) with Tyler as his first officer. Stacey was impressed with Tyler and, at Jeania’s urging, asked Tyler if he was single and wanted to meet Cassie! Tyler wasn’t sure about a blind date at the time, but then Stacey showed Tyler a picture of Cassie, to which Tyler immediately and enthusiastically agreed to ask her out! A few days later, Tyler and Cassie met for coffee, and continued seeing each other since!
