Sometime in winter 2007 Heather was leaned up against a gas stove at a house party, after smelling gas intoxicated Tyler yelled across the room at Heather to turn off the stove. After the infamous stove accident of 2007, we met many times but timing was never on our side. Until Heather was home from college for the summer of 2008, Tyler happen to be staying at the same friends house and was finally single. After trying to fight obvious chemistry and keeping things casual because of distance Tyler made the move to Chicago in 2009. College was over and it was time to move back to the city that started it all, Cincinnati Ohio. Though there’s been many changes including homes, pets and jobs throughout our 11 years together the one constant has always been us.

Passports were stamped, many flights were boarded til we made it to Ibiza, Spain. Tyler and I met a small group of friends as we explored the Mediterranean by sailboats and scooters. Our friend Ben Groh mentioned he had a friend on the island willing to shoot our photos, so Tyler and Ben picked an amazing restaurant with an epic view called Experimental Beach. After many, many, many awkward minutes in front of the camera Tyler dropped to one knee, the rest of the night was a blur of emotions, or too many shots of tequila. Either way, it was official we were engaged and spent an entire two weeks exploring Barcelona Spain together as fiancées.
