We're getting married!

In the heart of Downtown Rockford, fate brought Shelby and Tyler together. While Tyler worked as a USPS mail carrier, Shelby spent her time working at Bath and Body Fusion, a small local business. It didn't take Shelby very long to notice the charming mailman as he went about his rounds. As days turned into months, their casual conversations became the highlight of their every day routines. Over the course of a year, their paths intertwined in brief yet meaningful conversations. Each interaction left them eagerly anticipating the next, forming a bond that seemed to transcend mere acquaintanceship. These daily exchanges paved the way for their first date. Keeping things simple, they picked up milkshakes then watched the sunset, at Atwood Forest Preserve. They spent hours engaged in heartfelt conversations. As daylight gradually turned to a blanket of stars, a shooting star streaked across the sky. The perfect ending to a magical first date. In that fleeting moment they realized with unwavering certainty that they were meant to be. Today, Shelby and Tyler own their home right down the street from the reception and ceremony space! Shelby is finishing up her bachelors in Elementary Education, and Tyler is working for USPS. They have a 5 year old beagle named Bailey, who believe it or not shares a birthday with the bride! Together they love to cook, laugh, spend time with family and friends, and their pup Bailey.
