Julia's side: Tyler and I met at the wonderful Aladdin's Eatery on Portage Crossing. I was starting my first job and had the dreamiest trainer ever (Tyler). From the very beginning I told everyone including his sister Erika that I was going to marry him. Tyler kept me in the friendzone for awhile, but come summer of 2020 he couldn't resist me any longer! The end of that summer after Tyler survived a crash due to a hurricane he finally asked the question, "Will you be my girlfriend." September 28th was the exact day this question was asked, but the day before is when we finally went on our first date, a beautiful night eating blue moon ice cream, drinking Oliver blueberry Moscato wine, and stargazing at Indigo Lake. Tyler and I dated for almost two years before he popped the question on August 19th at "our spot" Indigo Lake. Tyler's side: Julia and I met at Aladdin's Eatery. I worked mornings and she worked nights so we didn't talk too much in the beginning. However after I got switched to evenings our friendship immediately sparked. She was cute, sure, but too young. I invited her to go to my little sisters boyfriends house with us, and from there came years of close friendship. I knew she always had a thing for me, but I kept a respectable distance for quite a while. In July of 2020 I went on a road trip with my friend. I remember calling Julia at every opportunity I could get as well as constantly having her on my mind. It was then I realized that maybe it was time to ask her out on a date. From there, our friendship grew into what is now a love I couldn't imagine my life without.
