Tyler and Grayce met on the night of New years Eve 2023. Tyler and Grayce were both at IUP with friends, where they unexpectedly ended up at the same party. In typical Grayce fashion, she had a little too much fun, and Tyler took care of her the whole night. Tyler and Grayce exchanged phone numbers and stayed in touch despite Grayce still attending IUP, and Tyler having just graduated. Tyler made many, many IUP visits to see Grayce and their love blossomed. After Grayce graduated in May of 2025, Tyler proposed on the same beach Grayce's parents got engaged on, exactly 30 years prior. Grayce and Tyler bought their first home together in November 2025, and got their first puppy together, Winston!
