In December 2021, it was the night of my best friend’s birthday party. Tyler actually didn’t want to even go, but after some convincing from his brother, he finally decided to. Without even realizing, our whole lives were about to change. All from what felt like a small and insignificant decision. But that decision unknowingly set the stage for our story. We started out as just friends, just the two of us tagging along for our best friends who were busy navigating their own romantic journeys. As we spent more time together, it became clear that we were no longer just “friends.” The wingman excuse faded away, and what we felt for each other couldn’t be hidden any longer, we were falling for each other. Before we knew it, we had been together for over two years. Through the shared laughs and the way we fit together in our most awkward moments, our love became so special. Being in love with each other felt like a solution to every conflicting feeling we’ve ever had. It felt like home. Fast forward to October 14th, 2024, what I thought was a night of us two celebrating me going back to school turned out to be so much more. Tyler decided to pick me up early before dinner and he took me to the most beautiful glass chapel nestled in the woods of Bella Vista. There, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Everything just clicked into place. Through the months, years, and twists of our journey, this was where we were supposed to be. I didn’t think twice, I said yes. The stunning glass chapel was the perfect place to make that promise to each other. There, we decided, that we would stand before everyone we love and say, “I do.” So, that is where our next chapter will begin, our forever.
