Please Touch Museum

Some Museum memories stay with you for a lifetime.💜
Sixteen years ago, Tyler Gallashaw and Tiana Scott met at a Sweet 16 party at Please Touch Museum. This weekend, they came back for a very different kind of celebration. 💍
Tyler proposed to Tiana in the same place where their story began — and even wore the same jacket he had on the night they first met in 2010.
“I thought it would be a great idea asking her to marry me at the place that we first met as a nice full-circle moment,” Tyler shared. “She loved everything about it and remembered the jacket as well.”
Congratulations, Tyler and Tiana! We’re so happy Please Touch Museum could be part of another special chapter in your story.
