Tyler (Monix) and I first locked eyes across the dining room during one of my Manayunk house parties in August 2018. We exchanged phone numbers, but a few months went by without seeing each other. My roommates and I hosted another party on Halloween night and I walked downstairs to see Tyler, and Monix, across the room (yes- Monix somehow made an appearance to all of the house parties). I went out to the bar (Mad River- RIP) with my friends, while Tyler hung back with the rest of the party. He knew he wanted to spend time with me that night, so he (bravely) ventured to Mad River alone on one of the busiest nights of the year to find me (in costume). After a few laps, and no luck, he was about to head home. As a last effort, he asked a random guy on his way out if he knew me. Somehow this 'stranger' said yes and pointed me out on the dance floor across the room. We still do not know who this person was, but thank you for being a part of our love story! Tyler asked me out on our 1st date that night, and Tyler, Monix, and I have been together ever since.
