Our Wedding

Our Story

If you know anything about us, you know that this wedding has been a long time coming. So, let's start from the beginning. Tyler and I met in July of 2015 when we were just babies when I was on the UAB dance team and him on the cheer team. We were at the parking lot of the Coleman Coliseum waiting for UCA/UDA camp to start. Tyler got out of his car and I was immediately drawn to him. However, he had NO idea who I was and didn't even know my name. After camp, I asked him to come with me to a party that my high school friend was hosting. After that night, the rest was history. Though we had our ups and downs, we decided to officially give it another change in August of 2022 after I got back from a clinical rotation in Houston. From August of 2022 to our proposal, I hinted every week about rings that I wanted and what I envisioned our engagement to look like. He would get memes on instagram just about every day. Flash forward to October of 2024, I had been planning to take Christmas pictures. Usually he hates taking pictures but this year, he didn't say anything (first weird thing). About 2 weeks before the pictures, he asked where I wanted to get them taken at. I told him the Christmas tree farms but had no idea that they didn't open until after Thanksgiving. We finally decided on the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. My friend Megan kept asking what we were both wearing and if I was going to get my nails done. I thought it was weird, but I did have black nails which she knew I wouldn't have been happy with. I decided to get my nails done a couple days before and boy was I glad. I told multiple friends that week that I thought he was going to propose and they all said I was crazy (needless to say, they all knew). The day was finally here and he proposed on our walk through the botanical gardens while taking our Christmas pictures. Afterwards, our friends and family held a wonderful engagement party for us and we went to dinner at Perrys to celebrate! We have been through so much over the last ten years. Our closes family and friends know just the rollercoaster ride that has lead us to this part of our lives. There have been tears, laughs and so many memories made. I know those memories will continue to be made. We hope you will join us in celebrating our wedding day!! - Stephanie
