Gracie was a freshman at West Chester University while Tyler was interning at Villanova University. They both had mutual friends on campus when they met one night at Ramsgate Apartments. They both continued to hangout as their friends were interested in one another but Gracie and Tyler were just there as friends of a friend. On the 4th event they saw each other, Tyler asked Gracie to attend a Villanova basketball game. He drove in the ice and snow an hour from Quakertown to West Chester and then Villanova to get them to the game. Next thing you know- COVID hits. Gracie and Tyler's family allowed them to see each other as long as everyone was following safe measures of protocol. In November, Tyler was getting ready to move away to UNC for work and Gracie went out to visit him. On the second visit in July 2021, they made things official when shortly after, Tyler accepted a new position at Temple University in Philadelphia. The two spent many hours together in their home state until Tyler took the next big step in his career working on the football staff at Tulane University in New Orleans. Gracie would visit Tyler for many months until graduating from West Chester in May 2023, and the day after graduation they moved in together! That July they drove to Oxford, MS to pick up their black lab puppy, Nola. Since the Summer of 2023, the two moved to Pearland, TX in January of 2024 where Tyler works on the football staff for the University of Houston. On May 10th the two were in Pensacola Beach soaking up the sun in their favorite vacation town. There, Tyler proposed to Gracie on her birthday after dinner while Tylers parents accompanied Gracie's Maid of Honor, Laura and Best Man, Eric to set everything up. In November 2024 they got another puppy, a fox red lab "Molly" to celebrate their new chapter together.
