In 2019, Chianne & Tyler met how all romance begins... chatting over beers at a house party in Platteville. Neither of them were necessarily looking for anything in particular that night. They were introduced by Chianne's friend Alexa and took an immediate interest in each other.

The beginning of their relationship consisted of a lot of time spent on the road as Tyler was living in Cedar Rapids and Chianne in Waukesha. They would meet for weekends spent with friends in Platteville, talk on the phone for hours after work, and find time to explore each other's cities when they could.

Then along came a couple of moves that shortened the distance – this time only an hour and a half between them. This distance continued to dwindle until eventually they began living together in Tyler's hometown of East Dubuque, Illinois. A few years later, they took a leap together and moved 6 hours away to northern Wisconsin, where they were engaged less than a year later.
