Tyler and Sara first met in 2015 at the YMCA during pre summer camp training. Tyler had just been hired and Sara had the task of teaching the group the Penguin camp song. Somewhere between verses of “have you ever seen a penguin come to tea” Tyler knew Sara was his future wife and he needed to know her. She had other plans though, friend-zoning Tyler with instagram captions like “hey best friend, that’s my best friend”. As the two grew close over the years, Tyler got the nerve to tell Sara he was head over heels for her and in October of 2017 the two officially started dating. Tyler and Sara love attending baseball games, cheering on their favorite football teams (often talking about how terrible the Miami Dolphins are), walking their pup Callie and couch rotting while watching whatever trash tv Sara is rewatching at the moment. February 18th, 2023, Tyler convinced Sara that his family was taking pictures and that they wanted her to be included. Sara agreed, not overthinking the gesture, and insisted that she bring her large water bottle and iPad playing Jersey Shore to keep her busy during the photos she was not part of. After much convincing, Sara left her iPad and water in the car as they walked across to where the photos would be. And instead of the expected photoshoot, Tyler surprised Sara with a picnic overlooking the sunset in Dunedin and proposed! They are excited to share their day with friends and family!
