Here's a story about a girl and a boy that never thought a dating app would lead to this...
MATCHED ON HINGE!
Tanner liked Haley's profile on Hinge, she was getting on Hinge to delete her profile and saw him and thought 'what does she have to lose, let's give him a shot'.
FIRST DATE AT AFRAH'S!
It didn't take more than 48 hours for Tanner to ask Haley on a date. They planned for Afrah's on that Friday and ended up being there from 6:00PM till almost midnight! They ate 3 desserts and just kept laughing and talking.... note: Haley definitely mocked Tanner the whole time, but only because she was nervous since he was so much more amazing than she thought he would be!
VALENTINE'S DAY/WEEK!
Haley was sick all this week, but after going on 4 dates, they started spending most of their days/evenings either together or talking. By Valentine's Tanner was taking care of Haley while she wasn't feeling well and Haley finally told Tanner that she liked him... or maybe said that she couldn't find a reason not to... basically they were head of heels and doing everything together.
SEF GALA & TITLE CHANGE!
Tanner came with Haley to the SEF Gala, and after spending the evening trying to figure out how to introduce him to everyone, they finally made it official! Haley was his girlfriend and Tanner was her boyfriend! WHAT?!
MEET THE MCDERMETTS
While Tanner had met half the family at this point, the two of them finally got to hang out with the whole family! Haley finally had a partner for game night with all the siblings and their boys!
NO LOOKING BACK!
This was the day that Haley knew she was going to marry Tanner! It may have taken him a little longer, but after just an ordinary day spent with him, she decided she never wanted to live a life without him!
KRCHNAVYS IN KANSAS!
Haley got to meet Tanner's Mom, Grandma Jo, and some other family & friends! Tanner also showed Haley all the places of his childhood and they went to some awesome parks... Kansas has the best parks FYI.
SUMMER CAMP!
Tanner had helped a Haley a ton in all things ministry and was loving being a part of it... so much so that he signed up to go to WyldLife camp and came to be a leader for the crazy middle school boys! This was a huge reminder to Haley of how faithful God is to bring someone alongside her for not just the ups and downs but for all the fun and crazy things.
THE NEPHEW'S ARRIVAL!
Tanner and Haley were so excited to meet little Miles! While they were not engaged yet, Haley and Tanner both knew that this was Tanner's future nephew and Haley's first nephew! What a fun and exciting thing... plus he is cute!
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
The day finally came that Tanner proposed and Haley said yes! This day seemed long awaited, even though they only met each other 9 months before. What a fun and lovely day full of surprises. Tanner did a great job taking Haley to breakfast, the arboretum, and an engagement party after! I think Haley would relive that day 100 times if she could.
THE BEST DAY EVER!
Haley and Tanner are so excited to close this chapter and begin a new one together. They are so grateful for everyone who has supported them and will continue to do so!
