It all started with the infamous dating app - Bumble. Courtney couldn't pass up a chance to meet Thor, and Tyler was glad to be part of the "package deal". For our first date, we shut down the restaurant after five hours of conversation and laughter. We quickly realized we shared similar values/goals, and formed a meaningful relationship, founded on support, respect, and honesty.

16+ months after our first date, we flew to Myrtle Beach, SC for a Valentine's weekend adventure. Tyler had been planning for months to "pop" the question in the perfect place, unbeknownst to Courtney. As we were walking through the Brookgreen Gardens, Tyler nervously stopped in front of a pre-selected statue to share with Courtney how happy he was to be with her, and what marriage meant to him. At first, Courtney was quite confused. Then, as Tyler got down on one knee, she asked, "Is this really happening?!". After a moment of shock, she said "YES", and we have been saying yes to our commitment to each other ever since. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in October!
