Tyler proposed to Tessa on Halloween in 2018. “After the proposal, I called my family and told them the awesome news and I was met with confusion. It was only then they told me that there was a plan for Tyler to propose that following weekend at a winery and all my family and friends would be there to pop out and surprise me and celebrate. Then Tyler confessed that he had picked up the ring that day and just couldn’t wait any longer.”
Eighty-five guests were in attendance for their July nuptials, including a twelve-person wedding party.
Our ceremony was officiated by my brother. It was really great and heartfelt because no one knows us better. It was super special to have him in that role on our day.”
The couple chose a floral garden wedding theme with lots of blush and greenery. “We didn’t really focus on a theme, we just wanted the day to be about our celebration with family and friends.“
Tessa and Tyler wanted to make sure their two dogs were a part of the day and had drink cozies make with their faces. “We had a sparkler exit at the end of the night and had a ‘fake exit’ in my dad’s 1971 Pontiac Grandville with a ‘Just Married’ banner on the back. We stayed at the Antrim that night and had drinks at the bar with friends and family, which was a nice extension to the celebration.”
Tess works at St. John Properties and Tyler is a shop foreman at Canyon Contracting. The couple currently resides in Frederick.
