We’re getting married!

After matching on Bumble while I (Jordan) was in LA for a concert, Tyler and I struck up a conversation the following weekend while I sat passenger on a road trip to Vegas. We text the entire trip and agreed to meetup once I returned. After re-scheduling over and over we finally met up one weekend and spent every weekend together after. I rode the train 3 hours on Fridays to spend weekends with Tyler, or he would drive the 90 miles south to visit me. After months of back and forth, Tyler found a job in Orange County and moved to Newport Beach so we could really give our relationship a shot.

Tylers family and I went to watch Mary Poppins on Christmas Eve before the rest of his family came over for dinner. When we arrived back at the house to get ready for dinner, Tyler disappeared as I went to put my coat down. When I came back out to the kitchen, Tyler's mom ushered me outside claiming we "needed to go outside for the annual sock exchange." When I opened the door the first thing I saw were balloons reading "marry me." Tyler took my hand and lead me up a rose petal and candle lined pathway. Once we reached the top of the steps he dropped to one knee and popped the question in front of his entire family. With tears in my eyes I said "Yes!" and just like that we were engaged. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives!
