A week had not gone by in January of 2019 when I told my friends, as Tyler walked by, “ he’s going to be my husband, he just doesn’t know it yet.” That day I approached him in the gym while he was on the smith machine and asked if I could workout with him sometime. I thought he was fine, he thought I was fine - great minds..a match made in heaven - happily ever after? I know, I know, too early to tell. Not! Within the first few months of being together we knew we wanted forever and Tyler didn't waste any time. Eight months in he popped THE question. We were in the mountains on a trip for my birthday and I thought we were just out hiking for the day. Unbeknownst to me he'd been carrying my ring around in his pocket for weeks. On September 29th, 2019 we got engaged in front of a beautiful waterfall in the Smoky Mountains - to the tune of bended knees, yeses, and a cascading waterfall and all (it's possible there were tears). Two years later here we are FINALLY getting married!!! #mccauleyeverafter
