We are so fortunate to have met each other, we constantly thank our lucky stars… and Craigslist. Emaley has spent her entire life living in Wisconsin, graduating from UW-Madison and remaining in the downtown area. Meanwhile, Tyler grew up in Central Illinois and attended Southern Illinois University. During his last year of undergraduate, Tyler accepted a summer internship in Madison and moved to an apartment near downtown that he found on Craigslist. Fortunately, that apartment did not belong to a serial killer, but to 3 great friends of Emaley’s. Situated just across the street from Emaley’s apartment, Tyler was quickly accepted as one of “the group” and they began seeing each other often. The spark between them was immediate and obvious, but with Tyler returning to Illinois at the end of the summer, a relationship did not seem realistic. Thankfully, Tyler must’ve found something more interesting in Wisconsin than cheese and freezing winters because he accepted a full-time position at the company he completed his summer internship with. Within months of moving back to Wisconsin, the spark between them blossomed into something more serious and their relationship was solidified. Each day since then, the spark remains alive while their relationship grows deeper.
