When asked, "How did you meet?" I always reply, "It's a funny story." Tyler and I actually went to the same high school, Cosby. However, I was two years ahead of him at the time. Tyler played volleyball for the school, and I would go to the games because that was the social thing to do then! The funny thing was, I eventually began to notice him more and more and thought he was cute. Tyler had absolutely no idea who I was (LOL). I had a good friend at the time who was a manager for the boy's volleyball team, and I mentioned to her that she should mention me to Tyler. Long story short, that never happened, and I went on like normal. I eventually graduated high school in 2013 and went on to college. Tyler and I were friends on social media throughout the years from going to the same high school and having numerous mutual friends. It wasn't until 2022 when I was at work, and I had an Instagram notification of him replying to the story I had just posted of me in my scrubs while at work. The initial message was an emoji, and I remember thinking, "Do I even reply?" I sent something silly back (an emoji), thinking that nothing would come of it. However, Tyler started a conversation, which we kept up for a day or so on Instagram and then eventually led to him asking for my phone number. We talked for a few days and eventually went on our first date, where we laughed the whole time. We have been inseparable ever since. We have grown and made so many memories over the years. I love the little life we have in Virginia and I can't wait to create so many more memories. We are both extremely excited for our big day and so blessed to have our family and friends by our side celebrating with us. We love you all and thank each and every one of you for being a part of our lives!
