We first met in high school through our mutual friend group. After years of friendship and lots of daily texting, we started dating during our junior year of college, while Tyler was at Penn State and Kate was at Villanova. There were lots of late night FaceTimes and bus trips for weekend visits, but during those first years we became best friends. It didn't take long for Tyler to make Kate a fan of PSU football weekends, and for her to start dragging him to Nova basketball games. After 5 years of dating, laughing, traveling, and many many beach trips, Tyler proposed in October 2020! THE FIRST DATE 07.30.15 THE YES DATE 10.03.20 THE BEST DATE 12.11.21
