Picture of Our Story...

Our story began on October 20, 2018 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin thanks to two great friends.


Tyler was visiting friends in Wisconsin and Hannah was still living there for work, although actively pursuing job opportunities in NYC. A mutual friend (thanks Lindsay Kazan!) convinced Hannah to meet her out for some drinks. In true fashion, Hannah arrived at least 30 minutes late, saw an open seat next to Tyler and sat down. Although we talked, laughed, joked, shared our life stories and felt like best friends already, we forgot one important detail; we forgot to exchange our phone numbers.


Lindsay once again came to the rescue and gave Tyler Hannah's phone number (upon his request). Fast forward ~4 months and Hannah moves to NYC for a new job opportunity.


A few weeks later, we met for a date after work and found ourselves spending more and more time together every week and weekend. Every date was just as exciting as the first. After a few months of this, we became official and the rest is history.


Our relationship continued to strengthen and then in 2021, Teddy, our best four-legged friend made us a family. Shortly thereafter, we moved in together on the Upper West Side and have felt at home since. We also expanded our family with our newest four-legged best friend, Lennie. We've proudly started to build a beautiful life full of belly laughs, a lot of love, good food, and dogs.


In June of 2023, we got engaged in Italy with full bellies and happy souls after eating for nearly 3 hours straight. The best memory to date!


We look forward to the rest of our lives together and are so incredibly grateful that each and every one of you are in our corner! Now let's celebrate...
