How did we meet?

I still remember that Monday night the excitement and nervousness of swiping right on Tinder and matching with each other. What started as a simple conversation quickly turned into me coming to meet him in person downtown Augusta at The Loft, where he was working as a bouncer at the time. I was very nervous to go into a bar by myself and he quickly reassured me that everything would be okay and if I wanted to leave as soon as we met I could…..well clearly I didn’t leave. We talked till midnight that night, and the next day he agreed to ride with me to Savannah, Ga so I could take some engagement pictures for a friend of mine who come to find out he knew too. We had our first lunch date at B&D burgers on W Congress downtown Savannah and quickly there after we decided that we wanted to date.

Proposal

I won a free photoshoot from Brittany Sterling Photography, and at the time I didn’t know that Tyler and Brittany went to school together together and knew each other so I didn’t think anything of us getting couples photos taken. The day of the photoshoot comes around and very unexpectingly Tyler had messaged with Brittany and discussed with her that he wanted to ask me to marry him during the photoshoot. If you have seen the video , you know that I had no idea because I was bossing him around to do the right pose when he was actually on one knee behind me. He knew that I always wanted to get engaged during a photoshoot or with a photographer there when he did it, and he did just that!
