Our Wedding

It all started in 8th grade — back when Tyler had hair so long it covered his eyes, and Katie was (probably) already making color-coded to-do lists. We dated in high school for about a year and a half, but life took us in different directions… until one random night in 2017 changed everything. Katie was flipping through old yearbooks with a friend when the idea came up to go see Tyler. (Yes, without warning.) Cue the full-blown panic attack, but her brave friend knocked on the door anyway. Tyler’s little sister answered, and next thing you know, Tyler showed up at the door wearing pajamas and a gamer headset mid–Gears of War session. He looked like he saw a ghost. We made him change and come out with us that night — and from then on, we were inseparable. Tyler told our mutual friend that night, “I’m going to marry her.” (Spoiler alert: he meant it.) We exchanged numbers, officially started dating on May 3, 2017, and just a few weeks later, Tyler was by Katie’s side at her sister’s wedding and had basically moved in with her and her parents. Over the years, we’ve grown up together. We’re opposites in the best way — Katie is the Type-A planner, Tyler is the go-with-the-flow guy. But we balance each other out and keep each other laughing. We love dancing, road trips, blasting our favorite music, and being surrounded by our favorite people. We’re goofy, loud, and a little chaotic in the best way. On May 3, 2025 — exactly eight years after we became official — Tyler proposed during a weekend trip to Palm Springs. He planned a ride on the aerial tramway, and when we got to the top, with the mountains behind us, he handed his phone to a stranger to “take a picture”… but they were secretly recording the whole thing. Tyler got down on one knee, and with strangers cheering us on, Katie said yes. It was magical and romantic — just like our story. We can’t wait to start the next chapter together — and we’re so grateful to have you be part of it. 💍❤️
