Tylor and Sydney first met as undergraduates in 2017, then reconnected in 2020. Two years later, he proposed to Sydney at one of her favorite places: Bluestone Lake. The couple spent their day on the water and, when they posed together for a picture overlooking the lake, Tylor popped the question. After the proposal, their families awaited them at Tylor’s grandparents’ house in Glade Springs, where they all enjoyed dinner in celebration.
The couple choose to say their “I do’s” in The Faulconer Room at Pipestem Resort State Park. Decor for the big day was elegant with white hydrangeas, casablancas, lilies, roses, ranunculus, and silver dollar eucalyptus adorning the aisle and altar. During the couple’s first touch, they exchanged personal vows. Sydney, dressed in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown, proceeded down the aisle alongside her father. A harpist accompanied the processional and played “The Lord’s Prayer” during the ceremony.
At the on-site reception, tables were decorated in crisp white and black with accents of gold. The newlyweds danced to “Biblical” by Calum Scott for their first dance. After dances with their parents, Tylor and Sydney did a special dance with their siblings while their grandparents and parents danced together around them.
Guests feasted on a garden salad followed by herb roasted grilled chicken with an assortment of sides and were treated to a classic vanilla Genoise wedding cake and a dark chocolate devil’s food cake. Special touches at the reception included a photo booth and a surprise delivery of Gino’s pizza at midnight. The couple honeymooned at Sandals Resort in Antigua and now reside in Beckley, where Tylor began his residency with Access Health and Sydney is a teacher in Fayette County.
