Kate and Tyler met at Kroger in 2014, They became friends but their lives went on separately... Fast forward summer 2015 they had both been through some rough trials of life. Kate reached out to Tyler with kind words and encouragement and Tyler returned the favor...And that's how it began, a few kind words sparked the best relationship they could have asked for.
It was December 23rd, 2017, Tyler called Kate into the living room to look at something on their first Christmas tree. Kate assumed one of the cats had climbed up it, or that Tyler had moved around the ornaments in some silly way, but when Kate looked more closely there was a ring box sitting on one of the branches. It was an intimate and sweet moment which made it all the more special. At this time in Tyler's family they were all dealing with a recent traumatic event, and their engagement helped bring a little light to their lives in that dark time.
