We both met at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We shared a dorm building and a close friendship from the start. I am lucky to have been dating my best friend since January 20th, 2012!
As always, Tyler goes above and beyond with the things he puts his heart and mind to. After a beautiful horseback ride, Tyler led me to a bridge lined with rose petals and candles where large barn doors (handmade by Tyler) ended the walkway with the words "Marry Me" carved into the wood. After saying "yes!" amidst tears, popping champagne, and calling our friends and family, we arrived at dinner to celebrate. My entire family and Tyler's entire family surprised me at the restaurant! After causing a scene crying and screaming with excitement, we enjoyed a fun-filled dinner. Tyler and I, as well as our families, went back to his place after dinner to meet a few friends for a drink to celebrate. Tyler "forgot his key" and said we needed to go around back. When we walked into the backyard all of our closest friends (near and far) were there at a surprise engagement party that Tyler planned!! We all celebrated together soaking up the joy and excitement of the day.
