Michael and Tyler met on the dating app Hinge in 2018 in Washington DC. Michael said his guilty pleasure song was "Come On" by Kesha and Tyler responded by saying “I love Kesha” and we matched! Our first date was in Georgetown at a bar called Sovereign. We went on 6 dates in two weeks and couldn't get enough of each other.

We dated in the DC and Arlington area for about a year and half. During that time we went to many concerts, happy hours, hung out with friends, dates, and played kickball together on the National Mall!

In 2019, Michael's job relocated to Richmond, VA. In Richmond, we moved in together and adopted our dog Penny! While in Richmond, Tyler got a breast reduction surgery. Unfortunately, she got an infection and was hospitalized for 5 days and had to have an emergency 2nd surgery to remove the infection. During her 4 months of recovery, she was bedridden and Michael became a wound-care specialist and learned how to clean and pack Tyler’s open wounds during this period. This difficult time brought us closer together with love, care, and patience.

After a year in Richmond, we moved to Horsham, PA! Tyler and Michael dated for 5 years and around their 5-year anniversary, we went to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park for a vacation. Michael surprised Tyler and proposed on the 7th mile of the hike at the "Heart Rock"! We celebrated by going to an amazing spa in Palm Springs and spending a few days relaxing poolside.

The last 5 years have been full of laughter, happiness, love, and communication. We are very lucky to have found one another.

We have been to over 25 weddings together and we are so excited that you’ll be coming to ours! :)
