Our Wedding

Tyler and I met the modern way - good old Facebook! We texted back and forth for a couple months before meeting in person. Our first date was at the Nemo Tunnel before it was closed to the public. We spent hours talking, hiking, and riding around. It felt like we had known each other for years. Being single parents, we understood the difficulties each other faced in balancing work, our kids, and dating. We spent several months talking and dating before introducing our daughters. Natalie &amp; Athena were instant friends - bonding over unicorns, mermaids, and all things Barbie. Meeting each other's families can be intimidating, but I felt very much at home with his parents, as he did with mine.
Tyler proposed on November 20, 2022. He spent the day before telling me that he and his mom wanted us to all get dressed up for pictures in Nemo. I kept thinking, "why are we taking pictures outside when it is 20 degrees?" But then I thought about it being close to Christmas time and it would be nice for a family photo for the holidays. We headed to Nemo, the same place where we had our first date, with our parents and children in tow. When we arrived and the rest of the family wandered off, I started to catch on to the real reason we were here. Tyler walked me toward the river, where he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was the easiest 'yes' I have ever said!
