Tyler and Jamie met at the local Crossfit gym. Tyler took a tour as a prospective member while Jamie was in the middle of a rope climb and assault bike interval workout. He immediately noticed the fit blonde and Jamie noticed the handsome new guy while scaling a rope. Tyler joined the gym and they quickly became friends and workout partners - the rest is history!
It's a toss up depending on what you count as a date. Does it count as a date if their mutual friend, Andrew Farris, came along as the third wheel? If so, the first time hanging together outside the gym was at reggae Rebelution concert in Philadelphia. Shortly afterwards they went on a date (just the two of them!) to a Philadelphia Eagles game.
Traveling to Europe was a bucket list item for Tyler and Jamie that was put on hold during the pandemic. Once they finally had the chance, they went to Italy in October 2021 and made it the trip of a lifetime. This was Tyler's first time to Europe and he is already dying to go back. He will specifically never forget their first dinner at Taverna Trilussa in Trastevere, the Cinque Terre hike, and the gelato at Giolitti's. We hope to make it to back to Europe for our honeymoon as a family!
Early on in their relationship, Jamie and Tyler went on a weeklong trip to California. They say you learn a lot about a person when you travel with them and that couldn't be more true! Traveling together was so effortless and fun; it was after that trip that Jamie knew she wanted to spend every single day with Tyler.
