In February 2016, Tyler and Amber headed to Ocean Isle Beach for Valentine's Day. The couple spent the day exploring the town and splashing around in the pool. However, Amber knew something was up. Several weeks before, Tyler had shown up at their apartment with a ring sizer "borrowed" from Belk. Now he was acting odd, including having a piece of luggage Amber wasn't allowed to touch or unpack.

That night, Tyler took Amber to dinner, ring box in his pocket. He had done his research and had a plan to propose over dessert. Then disaster struck. Dinner was AWFUL. The restaurant staff was inattentive and slow; the food was cold and disgusting. Tyler was livid; Amber resorted to playing on her phone.

Tyler couldn't propose at the restaurant. Fortunately, thinking on his feet is one of Tyler's strong suits. Ocean Isle is a sea turtle sanctuary, and sea turtles are Amber's favorite animals. He convinced her (heels and all) to walk along the beach in the moonlight to look for sea turtles.

They had been walking for a few minutes when Tyler knelt down. Amber looked down, expecting him to have found a sea turtle. Instead she saw the ring. The couple began crying as Tyler popped the question and Amber said yes. They headed back to the hotel to call their families when Amber finally saw the ring in the light. She lightly popped Tyler and accused him of being too over-the-top. He replied that while she thought the ring was too big, he'd have given her Tiffany if he could.
