Tyler and Chase met in 2016 in graduate school in the middle of nowhere, West Virginia. With the stress and pressure that comes along with PA school, neither Tyler nor Chase were looking to add a relationship into the mix. Nonetheless, after multiple group study sessions and weekend gatherings with classmates, an undeniable chemistry began to form. For their first date, Chase invited Tyler over to his place and planned to cook her dinner after a full day of class and studying. Let’s just say Chase’s home-cooking did not exactly sweep Tyler off her feet, as the unknown expired chicken led to a 30 minute car ride to the closest open fast food (Taco Bell) which just happens to be Tyler’s favorite (we won’t judge her for that). Over the next two years as PA school progressed, so did their relationship. Upon graduating Chase convinced Tyler to join him in the experience of city life by moving to Charlotte together. Fast forward a couple years, Chase proposed to Tyler on what was already going to be a really big day for the two of them … the day they closed on their first home together. After they signed mounds of paperwork, Tyler was anxious to start moving things in right away. When they pulled up to their house, she noticed their garage door was open and as they walked to the front door Tyler was in a hurry to get inside the house as she noticed a stranger following them down the sidewalk (who she later found out was the photographer), but Chase seemed to be stalling for some reason. As they approached the front door Chase said that he needed to “talk to Tyler about something” and got down on one knee and asked Tyler to marry him. Tyler excitedly said yes. Upon entering, Tyler saw the house was beautifully decorated with roses lining the stairs and counters. They celebrated with a private champagne toast before heading to Resident Culture to celebrate their big announcement with friends.
