Tyler invited Nina to his parents famous “Bristol” party which coincided with his mothers 60th birthday two years ago. Although, Nina had no idea what she was getting herself into, she was in for a wild ride from night 1 filled with a pull-up tournament, "meet the family" AND all the family friends, lots of food, corn hole, fun and festivities until early into the morning. Tyler must have thought she fit in well because he just kept seeing her. Fast forward nearly two years, long-distance, and lots of travel, love and memories, Tyler asked Nina to officially be his plus one at every Bristol party for eternity!

This past 4th of July, Tyler asked Nina to marry him in front of both sides of families. After a day filled with pool time, slip & slide and all things 'Merica, Tyler enlisted the help of both families to pull off the biggest surprise yet! While he had Nina's brother, Drew, setting off fireworks, he had Nina's sister-in-law, Katie, gather the kiddos to go inside and put "headphones on" since fireworks "can be loud". On the other side, he had his sister-in-law Jessi in charge of setting up cake and after-party supplies, as well as take pictures and videos of the whole event. When Drew set off the first set of fireworks, Tyler pulled Nina out of her chair just in time for the second set of fireworks to set off into the sky. At some point, Nina didn't feel Tyler's arms around her anymore, and she turned around to the nieces and nephew holding a sign saying "Marry Me" and Tyler on one knee! It was romantic, thoughtful and everything Nina could have ever dreamed of! She was in such a state of shock, Nina couldn't even verbalize the word "yes". For those of us that know her-- making Nina speechless is hard to do!
