Lodging

Tyler and Mya's journey together began in late 2019 during their undergraduate years at Coker College. What started as a friendship blossomed into an unbreakable bond filled with laughter, shared experiences, and resilience, especially as they navigated the challenges of a pandemic together. They attended events, explored different cuisines, and opened up about their lives, all the while Tyler remained the supportive and honest friend that Mya cherished deeply.Initially, Mya was oblivious to Tyler's romantic feelings, often perplexed by the hints that others pointed out. However, as their friendship deepened, Tyler found the courage to express his feelings and asked Mya to be his girlfriend. With a heart full of affection and a blush on her cheeks, Mya wholeheartedly accepted, realizing Tyler was her Prince Charming. Since that moment, they have become inseparable, with Tyler encouraging Mya to grow into the best version of herself and standing as a steadfast pillar of support in her life. Mya is grateful every day for the divine connection that brought them together and eagerly anticipates a forever filled with love and joy.Tyler first laid eyes on Mya at Coker's Fall Formal Dance in November 2019. Dressed in a stunning orange silk dress with a matching flower in her hair, she captivated him instantly. However, shyness held him back from approaching her that night. Days later, fate brought them closer when he spotted her walking across the street. Intrigued, he asked friends about her, but nobody could provide answers. Then, as if by destiny, she appeared on his social media feed, igniting the courage he needed to reach out. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, and Tyler found himself falling for Mya, enchanted by her beauty—both inside and out. Their friendship soon blossomed into a beautiful romance, and Tyler feels grateful to have found his missing rib in Mya. Together, they are excited to embark on the next chapter of their lives, celebrating their love and commitment as they prepare to say I do.
