Tyler and Megan initially met through a summer lifeguarding job, when they were in highschool. Although they had the occasional overlapping shifts, their story doesn't begin until the summer of 2015.

That summer, Megan and Tyler began talking regularly and spending more and more time together. After a quick three weeks, it was time to back to college, a thousand miles apart from one another. Megan went to the University of Illinois in Champaign, Illinois, and Tyler was at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. Although some would chalk this up as a summer fling, Megan and Tyler jumped right into frequent visits and talking daily. Before they knew it, it was a full-blown long-distance relationship filled with 6:00AM Frontier flights, and long travel days just to spend a weekend together (and let's be honest, frequent trips to Colorado weren't so bad). Megan and Tyler decided to make it official in December of 2015, and have been together ever since.

The summer between junior and senior year of college, Megan got a job at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO and Tyler got a job in Fort Collins, CO, so they could spend a summer together hiking and spending time in the state they both loved. Megan and Tyler knew one day they would live in Colorado together. Until then, back to long-distance to finish school.

After graduation, Tyler moved back to Illinois so that Megan could complete her two-year teaching obligation. Within days of hitting the two-year mark, Megan and Tyler packed up and moved to Fort Collins, CO where where they have since lived with their dog, Tosh.

Their last few years have been filled with long hikes, road trips, lots of camping, brewery tours, evening paddleboarding, and a whole lot of laughter. In July 2021, Megan and Tyler purchased their first home in Fort Collins. In October 2021, Tyler proposed to Megan on a hike overlooking the Rocky Mountains, a place special to both of them.

We are so excited to have you all join us for our mountain wedding in June and cannot wait to celebrate in a place that feels so special to us, Estes Park! Thank you all for being a part of our journey, now, let the countdown begin!

XOXO, Megan & Tyler
