Our Story
We met for our first date Labor Day 2022 at Café Colette in Brooklyn. Whitney arrived fashionably late, and I was instantly smitten. Brunch turned into a walk through the park, which naturally turned into the best ice cream in Queens. By the end of the night I’d slipped a poetry book into her bag as a subtle “don’t forget me” and the rest is history. From there, we managed New York long distance (Manhattan to Queens), until Whitney crossed the river for good and turned my bachelor pad into a real home, helped by our pups Prince and Charlie. Along the way, she learned baseball, I learned the joys of reality TV, and we’ve mastered the art of the perfect grilled cheese and game nights. In March 2025, I proposed in McCarren Park, where it all began; complete with a surprise family dinner. From city adventures to travels near and far, Whitney was right from day one: we’ve never been bored together, and we look forward to all the memories still ahead.
We can’t wait to celebrate the start of this next chapter with you all!
Love,
Tyler and Whitney
