Croy and Tania first met on September 2, 2023, at her brother’s wedding. Their paths crossed on the dance floor, where an unexpected spark ignited between them. They quickly hit it off, sharing laughter and conversation throughout the night. After the wedding, Croy added Tania on Snapchat, and they began talking more frequently. Their chats soon turned into plans for a first date.

For their first official outing, they went fishing at Gilberson’s and followed it up with a scenic hike. From there, their connection only deepened. At the time, Tania was living in Cedar Falls, and Croy made frequent trips to see her, while she also visited him. Their relationship grew stronger with each visit.

On October 4, 2023, just over a month after they met, Croy asked Tania to be his girlfriend. Six months later, they made the big decision to move in together, along with their two pups, Billy and Perla—marking the beginning of their little family.

As time went on, their home and hearts continued to grow. They later welcomed their third fur baby, Leche—Perla’s baby—into the mix. Then, in June 2025, they expanded their family once more by taking in Buddy and Rocky, Tania’s childhood dogs. With five dogs in total, their household became a lively and love-filled space, a true reflection of their shared values and affection for animals.

A few months later, on October 4, 2025, they celebrated their second anniversary with a special trip to Gamaliel, Arkansas. There, they went on a hike to Mirror Lake Waterfall—Tania’s dream destination. Surrounded by the natural beauty and peaceful sounds of the cascading water, Croy knew it was the perfect moment. Down by the waterfall, he got down on one knee and asked Tania to marry him.

They are now thrilled to begin this next chapter in their journey together. With their love, their pack of pups, and a future full of dreams, Croy and Tania are excited to spend the rest of their lives side by side.
