Kristen and Tyler first met online in 2015 and since then have gone on weekly dates, moved into an apartment, and adopted two dogs. Tyler proposed to Kristen on Christmas of 2021, and the couple decided to incorporate their favorite holiday into their wedding theme: twinkling lights, a Christmas tree with ornament wedding favors, and fern greenery all around the venue, Mt. Defiance Cider Barn. Some unique qualities of their wedding include signature cocktail drinks inspired by their dogs and a giant crossword puzzle based on the couple for guests to participate in during cocktail hour. Overall, Kristen and Tyler felt they had an amazing wedding day and want to advise all future couples to live in the moment!
