Sarah and Tyler's story started with both of them socially stranded during quarantine in 2020. Each looked to online dating to try to reestablish their skills of awkwardly meeting strangers. Neither of them expected big things from matching with one another. They ventured back into public to meet in September of that year for their first date at a restaurant with plenty of sweet hard ciders which were Sarah’s favorites. Their connection grew steadily through Sarah introducing Tyler to Vietnamese food, and Tyler using his parents' dog, Jack, as bait to keep Sarah interested long enough for him to show her the good parts about himself. After some time, it just felt right for them to be together because they shared so many laughs and a deep, undeniable connection. This resulted in Tyler calling Sarah his girlfriend under the gigantic Christmas tree in downtown Detroit in December. Sarah had to remind him that he had not yet discussed this new relationship status with her but happily agreed to it anyways :). Almost two years later, Tyler and Sarah were spending an October afternoon at a beautiful park which was shaping up to be a perfect day. They explored the park for hours and took advantage of the countless scenic locations to relax and enjoy being with each other - seamlessly alternating between joking with one another, discussing their future together, and contemplating their journey so far. Amidst the perfect transitions of green, yellow, and orange leaves all around them, Tyler finally proposed to Sarah. The day officially became perfect when she said YES! It's incredible to look back and see how much both Sarah and Tyler gained by just having each other. Tyler now has the privilege of regularly eating amazing food and having a partner who improves everything just by being there. Meanwhile, Sarah has gained someone who will always protect her and have something silly to say or do to make her days brighter. Finally, both of them have received new families who have welcomed each of them lovingly and life partners who will always love and support one another with patience and open hearts. Although it feels like so many blessings have built up for them already, it's certain that the future holds much much more for this beautiful couple!
