Mackenzie and Tyler first met in 6th grade. Mackenzie always flirted with Tyler, tying their shoes together, sitting next to each other in class. In the Summer of 2020, Mackenzie asked Tyler what he would change about her, he replied with 'your relationship status' (such a clever guy, right?). As many of you know, Mackenzie was (still is) very stubborn; Tyler chased after Mackenzie for 6 years until she finally said 'yes' to dating him. This was in the Fall of 2020, as they just began their senior year of high school together. Tyler took a trip with his Dad to Disney and Mackenzie mentioned how much she loved Epcot and the Japan Pavilion where the Epcot ball makes for a perfect photo-op. Tyler said 'I'll propose to you here someday'.
Mackenzie always knew he was the one, she just wasn't ready for that commitment yet, also because they were best friends for so long, she didn't want to risk ruining that friendship if something would go wrong. Though all their relationship has done, is make their friendship so much stronger and better. Through all of the laughs and smiles, tears and hard times, they continue to still choose one another.
Tyler's family was planning a trip to Disney in January 2023 and invited Mackenzie's family. They were so excited to take a vacation with the people they love the most all together; well, this made for the perfect time to seal the deal. After a week traveling around Disney parks, they ended up in Epcot, Mackenzie's favorite park, on Friday, January 13th. While getting 'family pictures', Tyler's step-mom handed Tyler the ring and he popped the question. Needless to say, the proposal happened in the Japan pavilion and of course Mackenzie said YES!
They always say 'marry your best friend' and we couldn't agree more.
