FRANKLIN LIVING—

HOW THEY MET

Tyler and Kayla met Nov. 21, 2015, through mutual friends, and they started dating Dec. 6, 2015. Tyler asked Kayla out first, and she is so happy she said yes.

FIRST DATE

Tyler asked Kayla on the first official date. They went to Cici’s Pizza and to Wright’s Christmas lights, as they are both lovers of pizza and Christmas. They have made it a tradition every year since then to go to Christmas light shows together.

WHAT THEY LOVE 

Tyler loves Kayla’s cuteness, including her dimples and smile, and her good heart. Kayla loves Tyler’s goofiness, his deep ocean-blue eyes and his smile that melts her heart. She also loves the way he would do anything for anyone, his love for children and his heart of gold. 

THE PROPOSAL

Tyler had a proposal plan for the Fourth of July: He was going to do it during the firework show at Sloss Lake. But his anticipation got the best of him, and he woke Kayla up on July 1 and asked her. 

THE WEDDING

Tyler and Kayla got married April 20, 2019, at 2 p.m. at Triple H Barn. It was a beautiful, rustic spring wedding – full of their loved ones and friends. 

FAVORITE MOMENTS

Tyler’s favorite moment was when they opened the doors of Triple H Barn for the first time. He was filled with emotions, seeing his bride, and it was truly beautiful to witness his emotion upon seeing her for the first time. Kayla’s favorite memory was the exchange of their own written vows. Tyler got so choked up that he had to stop reading and gather himself, and everyone was moved to tears. 

FINAL THOUGHTS

2019 brought Tyler and Kayla so many happy and beautiful memories but was also one of the most difficult years either of them have ever faced. Kayla and Tyler have experienced two miscarriages this year, and Kayla suffered from the loss of her father. Though it’s been the hardest year of their life, it’s brought them many blessings, and they are so thankful for their families and each other. They look forward to a lifetime of love and happiness!
