February 2020 at the Paper Lantern Festival
Skyler and Edith first met while attending Arizona State University in 2019. At the time, Edith was preparing to graduate that December with her Bachelor’s Degree in Education, while Skyler was in the second-to-last year of his time in the Environmental Engineering program.
Their first date took place at Biscuit Café, where they connected over a shared love of breakfast food and talked about Marvel films. Afterwards, they continued the date with a round of mini golf at Castle and Coasters (Skyler would later discover that Edith did not particularly enjoy mini golf).
As their relationship grew through many dinners and movie outings, Skyler eventually asked Edith to be his girlfriend. They officially began dating on January 19, 2020.
Shortly after, the world shifted with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, Skyler and Edith stayed connected through virtual dates. One memorable evening included watching the film Grease—a favorite of Edith’s, though not quite to Skyler’s taste.
Over the next five and a half years, their bond continued to strengthen. Skyler and Edith continue to explore new travel destinations, frequent Harkins Movie Theaters, and share a deep love for food.
Along the way, they got a dog named Sedona, who quickly became an important part of their lives. Now, with years of shared memories, laughs, and lots of love, they are excited to begin their next big chapter together.
