Way back in 2000, Tyler moved to public school, where he met a slew of wonderful people. In 2001, he and Kristen found themselves in high school where they got to know each other better in their classes together. They were friends all throughout high school. College came, and they went separate ways, but kept in touch every now and then.

Fast forward to the summer of 2007, and Tyler called Kristen up one day to ask a question about the Wii. She answered the question, and the two of them ended up talking for several hours. They continued to do so several nights a week for the remainder of the summer. When Tyler would come home on occassional weekends, he and Kristen started to meet up, and one evening in October of 2007, the two of them exchanged a series of curiously long high-fives between frames at the local bowling alley.

Neither of them were too sure what those high-fives meant, but Tyler decided to find out, so he called her late that night. Emboldened by the protection of the phone, Kristen and Tyler admitted to liking each other, and acknowledged there was something behind those extremely long high-fives, and so decided to start dating.

They'd begun thinking they might be in love during all their time together. One cold winter night, as the two of them sat talking, they decided they loved each other. Fast forward again, past Tyler's having brain surgery, and Kristen having a surgery of her own, the two of them had grown much closer together. From there, the two of them continued their relationship, growing closer and closer to each other, feeling their love grow between them, they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with each other.

Now, that journey is shortly going to begin, and they would like all of you to come celebrate with them.
