We accept each other for exactly who we are. We can each be our most authentic self with one another without fear.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
Our love story began in Maine in 2020 while I was on a travel nurse assignment. We began dating and slowly started spending all of our free time together. Alter 6 months, my assignment in Maine ended and it was time for me to leave. We decided to take a chance on us, so Tyler left his home state to travel around with me. He enrolled in college and took classes while I worked. He graduated Radiography school in May of 2025 and proposed to me in August. We will be getting married in September!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?There’s so many.. I think our favorite memory as a couple so far would be getting engaged. Tyler proposed to me while we were on a road trip along the coast of Oregon and Northern California, at a place called Fern Canyon. Some of Jurassic Park 2 was filmed there (and I am a huge Jurassic Park fan), and it is a beautiful canyon with massive walls of ferns (which I’m also obsessed with). We had to drive this crazy bumpy road to get there and laughed the whole ride there. It was perfect.
What would you do with $20,000?We would pay off our wedding and honeymoon! We would also be able to pay for some things around the house that need to be fixed. Such as the shed damaged by the tree that fell in the 10 pictures that I accidentally uploaded when I submitted our profile hahahah (*face palm*, so embarrassing).
