AMANDA + TYLER’S STORY “We both went to LSU and must have been at the same house parties and bars 100 times,” says Amanda. “Officially, though, we met June 1, 2013 at a LSU baseball tailgate.”

The couple met some friends to watch the game and Tyler spent the evening buying everyone Patron Tequila shots and telling his “famous tequila joke” to get Amanda’s attention. “The rest was history from there,” she says.

The proposal, on June 8, 2019 was a family filled event.

“Ty’s family is really involved with the American Cancer Society,” explains Amanda.

“He told me that there was a fundraiser we were going to and we would meet at his dad’s place before. We walked through the back gate into the backyard and on our way, he got down on his knee and attempted to say his little speech and ask me to marry him. He started it, then I was like “Ooo ok” figuring out what was actually happening and then we both just nodded our heads - I don’t think any actual words came out after that. Then we turned the corner where the backyard was fully decorated and friends and family began pouring out of the house to congratulate us.”

Amanda and Tyler originally planned to marry in June of 2020, but due to postponements, finally said “I do” in June of 2021.
