Our Story

The Beginning

In typical zellinial fashion Tyler and Alyssa met on you guessed it... a dating site. Tyler and Alyssa matched on bumble shortly after Alyssa moved to South Dakota to get her Master's degree.


Alyssa remembers matching with Tyler while not really looking and Tyler remembers extending the connection when Alyssa didn't respond right away.


Our First date was at Ruby Tuesday. We sat at the bar and talked so much we didn't even touch our food. The waitress asked if there was a problem with our meals and we both just replied "No".


We went on somewhere near 5 dates in the first 7 days and then Tyler asked Alyssa to be his girlfriend she said yes and the rest is pretty much history.

The Engagement

Alyssa has always been a huge fan of football and an even bigger fan of the New Orleans Saints. In 2022 Alyssa and Tyler took a trip to New Orleans to cross off one of Alyssa's bucket list items - a football game at the Superdome. They watched the Saints beat the Seahawks and spent 7 days in the Big Easy enjoying themselves.


The following year the Saints were set to face off against the Chicago Bears so Alyssa thought as a birthday gift to her brother she would pay for his airfare down to New Orleans to see the game. Little did she know Tyler had something bigger planned for the trip than just the football game this time.


Walking into the stadium under the watchful eye of former owner of the Saints Tom Benson's statue Tyler proposed to Alyssa and she said yes- putting the ring on the wrong finger and all. Tanner captured the whole thing on video after pretending to set them up for a picture.


Tyler remembers telling everyone the two knew what was happening on this trip and Alyssa remembers having not the slightest idea and being caught 100% by surprise.

The Present

The couple has gone on many adventures so far but are so excited to start their biggest adventure with all of you. Each and every one of you is special to the bride and groom and they cannot wait to see you and celebrate their marriage with you!
