Throughout our entire relationship thus far, Tyler never fails to absolutely amaze me with everything he plans. I remember my friend referring to our dates as “bachelor style dates” when we first started dating. She was right, with everything he does, they have all been so romantic and incredibly special and the story of how he proposed reflects that as well.

For Christmas 2022, there was an oddly shaped present under the tree for me labelled “fragile”. I had zero clue what it could be. He saved it for last. After opening it, inside a few boxes, there was nothing fragile but a national geographic magazine with the instructions to pick any place I wanted to go. I have always wanted to go to Italy and I knew Tyler loved the idea of us going to Europe together, so my decision was made. I was beyond excited.

Fast forward to the trip, May 20th we left for Italy. I had a feeling a proposal was coming. Maybe not so much of a feeling, but a wish that it would happen. I knew very early on that Tyler was my person and that one day, he would be my husband. Once we arrived in Positano, Tyler informed me that he had a few surprises for me.

Thats when it sunk in, that we really might be leaving as an engaged couple. The day of our surprise, was probably the first day I saw Tyler nervous. He was pacing around our Airbnb and photographing everything. He walked me down to the dock, where we boarded a gorgeous boat. After being out on the water for about two hours, the boat driver had switched the song to “Until I found you” by Stephen Sanchez and he proposed. I have never cried as many happy tears, as I did then. There aren’t words for me to describe just how happy I feel that we found each other, and that we exist at the same time.

I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day.
