Our story began back in January of 2021, when Hadley was in her senior year at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and Tyler was in his senior year at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. We met on social media, thanks to the overlap between the colleges being in neighboring towns.

We began texting at the beginning, and connected immediately on big life topics like our values, morals, lifestyle, and where we see ourselves in 5, 10, 20+ years. We found ourselves sharing very personal stories and connecting on so many things, and soon became each other's highlight of every day.

Our first official date was on Valentines Day, at a restaurant in Downtown Mankato. Shortly after that, Tyler asked Hadley to be his girlfriend, and we were inseparable since. We attended big life moments for each other like our college graduations, met each other's families and friends, and continued seeing each other when we each moved back in with our parents post-college.
