Tyler & Katelyn Smith

January 6, 2024

Our Love Story

Tyler and Katelyn met in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic when everything was shut down. They met on a dating app, Bumble. Tyler and Katelyn recognized each other from high school, and both swiped right since they knew the person existed and it wasn’t a scam! They had their first date a week later, but remember, it was a pandemic. They picked up Mexican food to-go and took it back to Tyler’s place since restaurants weren’t fully open again. They ate, laughed, and watched a movie there, and the love began. From that day on, they were inseparable. They spent their time together over the next few years, traveling to the lake, getting a sweet dog named Daisy, and spending all their time together. Tyler proposed to Katelyn on Christmas Day 2022 with their sweet Daisy beside them.

Our wedding was truly special, as it was a celebration of our love surrounded by our closest family and friends. Each guest that came played a significant role in making the day unforgettable. Their presence ensured that our wedding truly reflected our shared journey as we danced, laughed, and made beautiful memories together.
