our story
PROLOGUE
OUR STORY BEGAN AT AUSTIN CITY LIMITS (ACL) IN 2019 WHEN WE WERE INTRODUCED BY OUR CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, NICOLE AND CHRIS. OUR FIRST MEETING WAS...LIVELY! TYLER WAS DEEP IN FOOTBALL BANTER (AND SOME FRIENDLY TEASING ABOUT ALLYSSA'S TEAM), WHILE ALLYSSA WAS JUST TRYING TO LISTEN TO KACEY MUSGRAVES! LET'S JUST SAY IT WAS A MEMORABLE FIRST IMPRESSION.
CHAPTER 1: THE "APOLOGY TOUR"
WE LIKE TO CALL ACL 2021 OUR "APOLOGY TOUR." TYLER OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZED FOR HIS EARLIER FOOTBALL OBSESSION, AND ALL WAS FORGIVEN! LATER THAT YEAR, WHEN NICOLE AND CHRIS GOT ENGAGED, WE TEAMED UP TO PLAN A SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT BRUNCH FOR THEM. AS THEIR MAID OF HONOR AND BEST MAN, WE BECAME A TRUE PLANNING DUO.
CHAPTER 2: THE REAL BEGINNING
THE TIMING FINALLY FELT RIGHT IN OCTOBER 2022 AT ANOTHER ACL WEEKEND. WE DECIDED TO START DATING. OUR FIRST KISS WAS IN NOVEMBER UNDER THE HILL COUNTRY STARS AT PEDERNALES TRADING POST IN JOHNSON CITY, TEXAS, WHILE CELEBRATING ALLYSSA'S 27TH BIRTHDAY. WE MADE IT OFFICIAL IN DECEMBER, BEGINNING A LOVING, LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUSTIN AND HOUSTON WHILE TYLER FINISHED SCHOOL.
CHAPTER 3: BUILDING OUR LIFE TOGETHER
FOR A YEAR, WE TOOK TURNS TRAVELING I-10. IN JANUARY 2024, ALLYSSA MOVED TO HOUSTON TO BE WITH TYLER UNTIL HE GRADUATED IN MAY 2025. WE BUILT A LIFE TOGETHER THERE, FILLED WITH STUDYING, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, DELICIOUS FOOD, RODEO SEASONS, HOSTING OUR AUSTIN LOCALS, AND LOTS OF WEEKEND TRIPS. WE ULTIMATELY DECIDED WE WANTED TO PLANT OUR ROOTS IN AUSTIN AND MADE THE MOVE IN JUNE 2025.
CHAPTER 5: THE ENGAGEMENT
ON NOVEMBER 8, 2025, TYLER SURPRISED ALLYSSA BY POPPING THE QUESTION ON THE WAY TO HER 30TH BIRTHDAY PARTY! TYLER THEN EXPLAINED WE WOULD GET TO PULL OFF THE ULTIMATE SURPRISE TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS BY ANNOUNCING OUR ENGAGEMENT AT THE PARTY! WE HAD A PERFECT NIGHT CELEBRATING WITH EVERYONE AND DECIDED TO GET STRAIGHT TO PLANNING THE WEDDING EXACTLY 6 MONTHS FROM THE ENGAGEMENT.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. WE CANNOT WAIT TO PARTY WITH YOU ALL UNDER THE HILL COUNTRY STARS!
