Picture of It all started in the middle of the pandemic...June 2020

Tyler & her best friend Logan decided to go to St. George Island for the day while he was visiting her in Tallahassee...


Austin & his coworkers also had the same thought while they were visiting him in Tallahassee...


When Tyler & Logan had enough sun for the day and were walking to their car, Logan noticed some guys getting out of a truck parked right next to them. After some joking around and trying to get their attention, which did not work, they decided to be silly and leave a Dairy Queen napkin on the truck shootin' their shot. Tyler had (HAS) a thing for mustaches and Austin's definitely caught her eye, so the next reasonable thing was to include that in the note. "I mustache you a question, will you text me? (the girl in the orange bikini)."


After a few drinks at the Blue Parrot, Austin returned to his truck frustrated that there was a note on his truck. He only assumed it was a sarcastic note about his parking, or worse, a ticket. Much to his surprise it was a phone number from a girl he never even noticed. Hours after Tyler left the note, Austin, with the encouragement of his friend Max, decided to take the bait.


Months passed with texts back and forth and suggested plans never fulfilled until they finally met up. Tyler (having to make the bold move once more), gave Austin one last chance one August night where she texted "pick me up in an hour." They both knew this was the last chance she was going to give him.


Austin swears it took him so long because he knew Tyler was going to be the real deal. Tyler still takes full credit for him finding the love of his life.
