Tyler and Pauline met in 2012 after attending Bear Down Camp, a camp for incoming freshmen at the University of Arizona. After camp, they slowly developed a friendship and were both heavily involved in various clubs in the student government. Fast forward to 2013, where they became best friends and soon fell in love.

After 6 years of dating, Tyler and Pauline went on their first international trip and the destination: Tokyo, Japan! As avid planners, everything was scheduled for their 10-day trip with the exception of 1 or 2 days. Lucky for Tyler, he was able to sneakily plan out the proposal and even coordinated with a photographer to capture the surprise moment. A few train rides away, they arrived at Rikugien Gardens, where he popped the question.
