Our Wedding

Tyler and Sarah were introduced to one another by their roommates in August 2018 during the first week of college at Elmhurst University. After knowing each other for a short few weeks, they both knew it was love at first sight. Tyler and Sarah have been attached at the hip ever since. Throughout college, Tyler and Sarah navigated young adulthood, school and sports together. For the past 6 years, they have traveled together, started jobs, and built a life that they loved with the best family and friends surrounding them. As this new chapter begins in their lives, they are more in love than ever.
