Tyler and Sarah first met during their senior year of high school at the Texas Bioscience Institute. What started as an easy friendship quickly turned into something more—helped along by Sarah’s daily morning coffees that slowly (and successfully) won Tyler over. Between long study sessions at Barnes & Noble and countless conversations about the future, their connection grew naturally. When college took them to different cities—Tyler to UTRGV to play baseball and Sarah to UT Austin—they learned what it meant to truly support each other from afar. Distance never weakened their bond; it only made it stronger. From high school hallways to college campuses to doctoral degrees and everywhere in between, they’ve been side by side ever since. What began as friendship turned into a love built on laughter, loyalty, and shared dreams, and now they’re excited to begin their next chapter together.
