Our Story

May 28, 2018

Some people say it’s fate. Some people say it's being at the right place at the right time. Based on our Bumble preferences and a little champagne to calm the nerves... we would say it was the "perfect match". We both found ourselves in Oregon sometime after college for different reasons. In May of 2018, we lived in different areas, well outside of the Bumble “zone of proximal distance to make a match.” One night, Jess was downtown visiting with her friends, and one of them thought it would be fun to "swipe" on her Bumble account. Little could we imagine at the time that this fun, little charade would ultimately lead to us getting married! After a few weeks of connecting via text, and having completely opposite work schedules, we decided to take advantage of Jess' Memorial Day holiday off from teaching. We met that morning for coffee, and instantly connected after Jess put on a thick southern accent and demanded to pick up the $4.51 coffee tab. It didn't take very long that morning to realize that all of our upcoming Bumble dates would need to be cancelled! Life moved pretty quickly after our first few dates. Tyler commissioned as an officer in the Army and accepted a flight school position in Alabama. Jess moved there shortly after the school year ended, and this is where the true foundation of our relationship began. Where our love grew and our hearts were changed. A year and a half later, we made our journey back from the south and continued our lives together in the Pacific Northwest- this time in the great state of Washington! In February of 2021, Tyler got down on one knee and proposed on a hillside overlooking downtown Portland. It was reminiscent of where we began our relationship and all the moves we had made together, all while growing deeper in love, faith, and trust. It was a reminder that no matter where we are, home will always be where our other half is. It’s where the power of love resides, and takes precedent over all else. Cheers to forever!
