Thank God for friends with good match-making abilities. It was January 2017 and Courtney was dateless for the end of year University of Oregon Dance Team bash. Luckily, one of her teammates said she would set her up with the perfect date. Cue Tyler. Unfortunately, we didn’t click right away and it wasn’t until March of the same year that Tyler was dateless for a fraternity function. The theme of the function was camouflage, so naturally Tyler reached out to Courtney thinking she’s got to have some good camo options. That was the night that sealed the deal! We spent that summer apart and quickly learned the truth behind the phrase “distance makes the heart grow fonder.” We returned to Eugene for our senior year and neither of us were ever dateless again! Courtney quickly learned to never plan something on an Oregon Ducks, Portland Trailblazers, or Seattle Seahawks gameday and Tyler quickly learned that a margarita and some good chips and queso can go a long way. We are so grateful for our love story and for every person that has played a role. God was sure up to something good when he paired the two of us together and we are so excited to start our forever!
