In 2021, Kendra had just moved to Denver and Tyler was living in Salt Lake City. We both work for the same company, and in 2021, were selected for an Advanced Leadership Development Program. Within the 25 people selected for this program, we just so happened to be assigned to the same small team. In the summer of 2021, Kendra was travelling back and forth from Salt Lake for a project and would meet up with Tyler for a quick hike or beers. We became pretty good friends. Our relationship continued to flourish, and after Tyler invited himself to Kendra's friend's wedding, the rest was history. We started dating long distance until Kendra (and our favorite boy Murphy) moved to Salt Lake in December 2022.
On Thanksgiving day, after a mid day walk, Tyler dropped on one knee in front of our house and popped the question. All of our immediate family was in the house and able to celebrate this special moment with us!
On May 6th, we will be eloping (just the two of us!) in Lisbon, Portugal. How did we decide on that you ask? We wanted something intimate for the two of us to enjoy, and our love of travel and adventure brought us to decide on somewhere we have never been before! Though we exchanged our vows in private, we couldn't imagine not celebrating this milestone with the people we love the most.
