Our Adventure

Tyler and Christina met in late 2023 on the dating app Bumble. Usually, the lady reaches out first on this app, but Christina had put some icebreaker questions on her profile, including “what’s your karaoke song?” “‘Take On Me,’ but I can’t hit the high parts,” was Tyler’s response.“‘Livin’ on a Prayer’” was Christina’s.And the rest was history. The first date was like straight out of a Hallmark romance, it was all sweaters, hot chocolate, and strolling by the Christmas lights. Later dates would take us to our favorite restaurants, usually not realizing how long we had been talking until the wait staff started closing the place around us. We discovered a mutual love for gaming of all kinds–board, tabletop, console, and PC. We’ve played through each other’s favorite games and discovered new ones together. We love traveling to new places both near and far. Whether we’re both forgetting the date of the Renaissance festival (and taking a detour to Old Tucson instead), cheering the Buffalo Bills at an away game in Houston, skiing up at the Arizona Snow Bowl, or braving the dangerous, untamed, far-flung wilderness of Columbus, Ohio for a game convention, we’re always finding the fun. After two years of falling more and more in love with each other, we’re ready to tie the knot and begin our new adventure together.
