We met at a joint birthday party for Marie, Haider, and Andy at Marie's house on Faxon. This night kicked off a series of adventures and we formed a wonderfully chaotic yet brilliant circle of friends.

Over the years, we built a community: countless board game nights, backyard fires, annual holiday parties, potluck dinners, and some unforgettable trips - kayaking the Buffalo River, dancing through Memorial Day weekend in New Orleans, road-tripping to Colorado, Dancing under the Tuscon AZ stars, chasing Eclipses in Arkansas and exploring every corner of Memphis together.

In February 2023, Tyler and Marie set off on a 20+ hour RV road trip from Tucson, Arizona - Tyler at the wheel, Marie riding passenger, and the one and only CD guiding the way, on repeat. This was the beginning of our relationship.

At a party at the Faxon House shortly after - Tyler sang and played guitar, sax and keys in the living room, and something just clicked. Not long after, we showed up to a local charity event dressed as Princess Leia and Han Solo (yes, really), and somewhere between the costumes, the music, and the shared mischief, we realized we were a perfect match.

Now we’re building a life filled with all the things we love most: music, travel, being outside, camping, and really good food. It started with friendship, grew through adventure, and turned into something more beautiful than we could have imagined.

God is so good.
