When Tyler met his girlfriend, Haylee, he instantly knew that she was "the one." She had an amazing family, a fun-loving brother and sister, and a hilarious father. Tyler enjoyed spending time with the whole gang and even saw them as if they were his own second family.
So when the devastating news came in that Haylee's dad, Greg, had passed away, that whole family was utterly heartbroken. Not only did Tyler lose his future father-in-law, but something else was now never to happen, something that the traditionally romantic Tyler had always wanted to do: ask the father of his future bride permission to marry his daughter.
While Tyler can't officially ask Greg's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage, he certainly came up with a pretty unique way to go about things. In this touching tribute to the dearly departed, Tyler found out the most beautifully perfect way to finally pop the question.

On April 25th, 2014, Haylee's father, Greg, passed away. Tyler never had the chance to get his blessing.
Instead, Tyler asked Haylee's brother and sister, both of whom couldn't possibly be more excited at the idea.
The young couple had been together for 7 years, through thick and thin... Tyler always wished that Greg could be there to hand off his baby girl to him, but sometimes things just don't work out. So instead, he wrote Greg a letter.
"Dear Greg, I'm going to marry your daughter..."

Even though Greg isn't there, everyone can feel his powerful presence looking down on everyone he loved in his life.
"I always thought of how I was going to ask for your blessing one day. And now that day is here. I wish you were here to hand your baby girl off to me, so I promise to be more than you would ever want me to be."
It was on a trip to Europe that Tyler finally built up the courage to ask Haylee the big question.
"I want to be the man that shows her love and patience, and gives her everything she needs. I'll tell her exactly how beautiful she is, and I'll show her how to believe in herself. I will take care of her. I want to give her experiences people only dream of, and love her unconditionally, because I wouldn't want to see the world with anybody else."
"But most importantly. I'll make you proud to call me your son."
