Tyler and I grew up in the same area, went to the same schools, and even hung out in similar friend groups, but it wasn't until my junior year of high school, his senior year, that we ever even talked to one another. Tyler's best friend, Anan, and I had English together and started to become close friends. The more we started to hang out, the more I started to hang out with his friends as well. While Tyler and I had met and made small talk, it wasn't until my senior year of high school, Tyler's freshman year of college, that I started to consider him a friend. Tyler was taking college classes and I was dual enrolling at the same school part time. When my class ended, Tyler's class would begin in the same room. Every Tuesday and Thursday, we would pass each other in the hallways and stop to talk. It was always refreshing to see a familiar face on a big college campus. When the summer of 2015 came along, Tyler and I were hanging out frequently in social settings. It was during that summer that I realized I had a ginormous crush on Tyler and wanted to get to know him more. Any time Anan was asking to hang out, I was asking if he could invite Tyler along too. We went to Disney, to the beach, had movie nights, had game nights, and just started to spend all of our time together. We made it official on August 29th, 2015 and have not looked back since! Tyler and I have experienced college, internships, grad school, first jobs, first apartments, start of our careers, and even became dog parents to our sweet Otis over these past 7 and a half years. We are so excited for our next chapter, marriage, and we can't wait to celebrate with all of you! <3 Morgan
