Marisa Corbitt and Tyler Gilpin, both born and raised in Largo, FL, have known each other since their awkward middle school days at Largo Middle School. They went on to Largo High together, where Tyler rocked the infamous "flicky Justin Bieber hairstyle" that Marisa simply could not resist. Like a classic rom-com, Tyler was the football player, Marisa was the cheerleader, and naturally, they had to date.

Of course, like any good high school love story, it didn’t last long—but their friendship did.

Fast forward nearly a decade, and fate (along with Bridesmaid Tiffany Nicholson & Groomsman Drew Curry—shoutout to you two!) brought them back together at a mutual friend's gathering. By this time, Tyler’s "Bieber era" was behind him, but he was still tall, dark, and handsome—minus the goatee, which he swiftly shaved off in an effort to win Marisa’s heart. (A+ effort, Tyler.)

This time around, something just clicked. Within a few weeks, Marisa realized Tyler was checking all her boxes. She patiently waited for him to catch up, and by the end of 2021, they were officially back together.

By 2022, they were living together—along with three dogs and a cat. (Yes, it’s a full house, some may call it a zoo.)

By 2023, they bought a home in Largo, making things extra official.

Then, in March 2024, on a trip with friends to Key West, Tyler popped the question during a private walk on Smathers Beach. (If you haven’t heard that proposal story yet, trust us—you’ll want to.)

And in 2025, they'll make it official as Mr. & Mrs. Gilpin!

Thanks for tuning in to this love story. Marisa and Tyler are beyond excited to celebrate with their friends and family in their beloved hometown—and, of course, on their regular fishing waters.
