Jacquelyn and Tyler first crossed paths while Jacquelyn was in college, but it wasn’t until January 2020 that their story truly began. One day, while scrolling through Snapchat between classes, Jacquelyn saw Tyler post that he was building pools… in the middle of winter. She couldn’t help but respond: “Wow, I had no idea you could build pools in the winter!” They’d been connected on Snapchat for years-Jacquelyn was close friends with Tyler’s cousin throughout middle and high school but that one message changed everything. Their first date came soon after, and they officially started dating on February 14, 2020. From that moment on, they’ve been inseparable. Five years later, Tyler proposed on February 17, 2025 but the signs were already there. While celebrating their five‑year anniversary in Columbus, they ended dinner at a Chinese restaurant by opening fortune cookies. Jacquelyn’s read, “Your patience will be your greatest asset,” while Tyler’s promised, “Mondays hold the promise of new beginnings.” Sure enough, the very next Monday, Tyler got down on one knee at Wendy Park despite the negative 14‑degree weather. The cold didn’t matter. It was perfect, unforgettable, and completely them. Now, after five years of growing together and a little help from timing, fate, fortune cookies, and freezing temperatures-Jacquelyn and Tyler are so excited to be getting married on October 16, 2026. They can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with the people they love.
