Victoria and Tyris first crossed paths at a mutual friend's "All Black" party. Introduced by a shared friend/cousin who knew they both had an interest in traveling, they struck up a conversation about their ideal traveling locations days later. Their connection deepened over subsequent gatherings where they discovered compatibility not just in their love for nature and traveling, but also in their values and outlook on life. As their relationship flourished, Tyris decided to propose in a place that held special meaning for both of them along the sides of friends and family. With a simple, heartfelt gesture on a crisp winter day, Tyris knelt down and asked Victoria to marry him. It was a proposal rooted in the simplicity and authenticity that defined their relationship, marking the beginning of their journey as newlyweds.
