Their love story began in 2017 in the most modern way possible—online! Neither of them could have expected that a simple click would lead to the adventure of a lifetime. Manthana had just joined Zoosk on a whim, hoping to meet someone who shared her interest for traveling. Meanwhile, Tyler, ever the optimist, had been giving online dating a chance in between working and enjoying his hobby. When Manthana’s profile popped up, Tyler was instantly intrigued by her sincere smile. A message about “When should I go to Thailand?” turned into a conversation that lasted hours. Their first date was at The Palisades mall, NY while they were just having a casual dinner that felt like catching up with an old friend at TGI Fridays. By the time they said goodbye, the day both knew there was something special. After giving it a try for almost 10 months of dating, they started to grow apart and curious to see what they really wanted in life as Manthana went back to school for her DPT, Tyler got a new job. Fortunately what brought them back together was a meaningful friendship, a cup of coffee in an NYC park that turned into real relationships.. and after spending time during a covid lockdown in 2019, their bond was finally become stronger than ever. From that day forward, they have been through thick and thin, with important milestones, their connection grew stronger with every conversation, laugh and shared interests. Their dreams of traveling the world together became more than just a dream. What started as a digital spark quickly turned into a love story filled with magical moments. In July 31, 2024, Tyler proposed to Manthana by a surprise in Montego Bay while they were on vacation. Giving Jamaica a memorable place in their hearts. Dear Family and friends. Now, as we prepare to start this new chapter together, we’re so grateful for the twist of fate (and technology!) that brought us together. Thank you so much for celebrating our big day with us! We can’t wait to see you!!! :)
