We first met on the Armada High School bowling team, but despite being teammates for years, we barely spoke until the end of Tyler's senior year. After I sent him a simple congratulations text for making it to regionals, we spent the entire night texting and quickly realized there was something special between us. Three dates in, and we were inseparable. Just five months into dating, Tyler left home to serve in the Air Force. Through letters, phone calls, and two years of long-distance during COVID-19, we stayed committed to each other. Eventually, I moved to Georgia, where we built a life together, explored new places, made lifelong friends, and adopted our sweet dog, Jeanie. After returning to Michigan, we began a new chapter in Mount Pleasant while pursuing our degrees at Central Michigan University. Then, on our sixth dating anniversary, Tyler proposed during a beautiful evening at a lavender and wildflower farm, surrounded by the flowers we had picked together. Over the years, we have built a life filled with love, laughter, adventure, and unwavering support for one another. We are each other's best friends and biggest cheerleaders, and we are so grateful for the family and friends who have been part of our journey. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
