Welcome!

We met at Tobacco Company shortly after Valentine’s Day in 2019. Tyler had moved back to Richmond from Alaska a few months prior and was bartending the night I came in with a couple girlfriends. While the other two girls were chatting with each other Tyler struck up a conversation with me. We continued to talk off and on until the other girls decided to go dance. I would have preferred to stay there and continue talking with him so I told him exactly that. We exchanged phone numbers and after about an hour of dancing with my friends I returned to the bar where Tyler and I continued to get to know each other. Tyler was going out of town the following weekend but we made plans to go on a proper date when he returned. Tyler recalls sending a text to his mom that night that said, “I think I just met an angel…” Little did he know he’d just met his future wife!

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year. As a child my family used to go to a farm every year right after Thanksgiving and cut down our Christmas tree. It was the most exciting way to kick off the Christmas season! Over our two years of dating I must have made it pretty clear how much those memories meant to me because Tyler chose to propose at a Christmas tree farm the weekend after Thanksgiving! He put so much thought into it and made a favorite activity of mine even more special. We saved a cutting from the trunk of the tree we picked that day and plan to have it made into an ornament. Now every year as we pick our Christmas tree and decorate it, I’ll remember that perfect day and the moment Tyler asked me to be his wife.
