Our story starts back in late 2018. Tyler had moved back to Leduc after taking a step back from hockey, and Kat was in her final year at the University of Calgary. Tyler messaged Kat on VSCO, a rather unconventional social media platform, but not without vetting her out first with some of his friends. Kat was intrigued by the man who slid into her DM’s on a photo app, and we began talking.

Fast forward about 10 days later, we made the decision to meet halfway for our first date. We met at the one place in red deer we both knew how to get to: The Red Deer Arena. We spent the day together, and the next weekend Kat was meeting all of Tyler’s closest family and friends at an annual Christmas Party.

This quickly turned into a relationship, with multiple trips back to Calgary and Leduc in the early years. We went on our first trip to Europe together, three months after we had met. We began to explore the world and share some amazing new experiences together.

In January 2021, Tyler moved to Calgary. Our first apartment was not much bigger than a shoebox, but it was ours. We shared so many late nights, apartment dinners, and special moments in our first place together.

As our journey together continued, we were faced with a once in a lifetime opportunity to compete on a reality competition show. We made the decision we were going to do the Amazing Race Canada together as a team. To this day, this remains our most cherished experience together. We watched Canada and our loved ones see our special journey unfold while we kept our little secret safe that summer.

Tyler got down on one knee on a vacation trip to Mexico in December 2023. From this point on, it was Tykat forever. We have continued to experience life’s most special moments together, and we hope you’ll share our most special day with us.
