  Married!

Our Story

Tyler and Meghan's story began on January 5th, 2023, with a simple match and a message. The pair, at the time, lived about six hours away from one another: Tyler being in Eau Claire, WI and Meghan being in Springfield, IL. The two began texting and calling consistently, and soon decided they should meet in-person for the first time. Tyler, being the gentleman he is, offered to drive the full six hours one Saturday to meet Meghan for their first official date, March 18th. One date slowly turned to two, then three, and by June the pair were driving six hours nearly every weekend to see one another. On July 29th, Tyler officially asked Meghan to be his girlfriend. [Unbeknownst to them, both Meghan and Tyler already knew that they loved the other and wanted to marry one another.]

In October, with unpredictable Wisconsin winters approaching, Meghan made the decision to pack up her life in Springfield and move to Eau Claire to be closer to Tyler so they could continue to develop and nourish their growing relationship. (Living about a block apart was one of the coolest things!)

Fast forward to May 2024, Tyler's family had scheduled a family vacation to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee (18 people in one cabin!). Thursday morning, May 16th, everyone got dressed up for family photos, which Meghan would later find out was a cover for the plan Tyler had crafted months before the trip. Tyler and Meghan left ahead of the group to go to the mountain overlook they'd scouted the day before to secure the spot for family pictures. When they got to the overlook, Tyler got down on one knee and asked Meghan to marry him. Through joyful tears, Meghan accepted, and the couple left the mountains as an engaged couple!
