Like many modern romances, Jessica and Tyler met on a dating app in October 2022. Tyler had recently moved to Mebane, North Carolina, and was training for his new job in the Raleigh area. During a lunch break one day, he started swiping and came across Jessica’s profile. He was immediately drawn to her beautiful smile. Not long after, Jessica came across Tyler’s profile and was captivated by his warm smile and his striking brown eyes.

They quickly began texting each other nonstop and soon made plans to meet in person at Bull City Ciderworks in Durham. They bonded over their mutual love of hockey and the fact that Jessica’s dad was from a town close to where Tyler grew up in New York! Their time together at Bull City Ciderworks went so well that they decided to continue their date with dinner and drinks at several other places around Durham. Over the next couple of years, they spent nearly every weekend together, exploring new areas, trying out restaurants and breweries, attending hockey games, and falling in love.

Then on August 26, 2024, Jessica came home from work to find Tyler had decorated their entryway and dining room with lots of string lights and roses. She was touched by how much effort Tyler had put into creating a beautiful “date night at home.” As she read a sweet card he had written for her, Tyler knelt down on one knee, and Jessica realized this was no ordinary date night. Tyler asked Jessica to marry him and after a few happy tears (from both of them), Jessica, of course, said yes!

We are so excited to get married and start our lives as Mr. and Mrs.!
