Our "Invisible String Theory" began with a simple match on a dating app.

After following each other on Instagram for over a year, we stayed quietly connected. Then one day, Tyler slid into Mikayla’s DMs and they began planning their first date.

Our first date was at a local BBQ joint, full of laughter, great food, and that unmistakable spark. We weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet, so we continued the night with drinks in an outdoor igloo. It was cozy, magical, and the kind of night you always remember. The next day, Mikayla told her best friend, “I’m going to marry him.”

And she meant it.

From that point on, everything just clicked. We started spending more time together and quickly realized—we had found our person. The time that followed was filled with travel, concerts, sporting events, and unforgettable adventures. We’ve laughed hard, lived fully, and grown stronger together through every season.

Then came May 3, 2025.

Tyler planned the most thoughtful proposal on Belle Isle in Detroit—the city that brought us together. He got down on one knee, and of course, Mikayla said yes! But that was just the beginning of the day. Tyler surprised her with a professional photographer, beach picnic, the arrival of both of our families (and Mikayla’s best friend all the way from Florida!), a romantic dinner overlooking the city skyline, and a beautiful hotel stay downtown. Every detail was so thoughtful.

Now, we can’t wait to continue this incredible journey—and officially start our life together as husband and wife. We are so grateful to have you by our side as we celebrate the beginning of forever.

With love,

Tyler & Mikayla
