Tyler and Katelyn were in Katelyn’s living room with her parents on Christmas Day, 2022. They had just finished opening gifts, and Katelyn was showing a gift to her mother. When she turned around from putting the gift away, Tyler stood, preparing to get down on one knee. Tyler asked Katelyn to marry her, and she excitedly said yes! All the while, Tyler and Katelyn’s dog Daisy excitedly looked up at her mom and dad!
