In April of 2020 Tyler and Michele were in New York City working in COVID shelters as EMTs. There was nothing romantic about the excessive PPE and germs floating around, regardless Tyler and Michele exchanged their social medias and at the end of their shift parted ways...for 18 months. After a long wait, Michele decided to respond to a photo Tyler posted on social media and the rest was history. The only downside was Tyler now lived in Colorado and Michele was back in New York. A year later and dozen flights back and fourth across the country, Tyler moved back to New York and we began our forever.
