The couple got engaged on July 15, 2025, during a “Christmas in July” themed date celebrating their first anniversary. After exchanging gifts, White directed Marilla to check a festive mailbox decorated for letters to Santa, where she found a heartfelt note that set the stage for his proposal. Only part of the letter made it into the show, but now fans are getting the full story.
Taking to Instagram on April 14, Marilla shared a photo of the note along with a touching caption. “This is the letter that Tyler wrote and read on our anniversary, July 15th, when he proposed to me,” she wrote. “We instantly bonded when we first met in 2024 over our love for Christmas exactly one year prior, which is why the Christmas in July theme was chosen. This is a moment I’ll cherish forever.”
Tyler White’s Proposal Letter Leaves Fans Emotional
The letter itself revealed just how deeply White feels about Marilla. “Dearest Madison, I knew in my heart when I met you, that I found someone special, unique and precious,” it read. “With this being our one-year anniversary, I would like to give you a gift to express just how much you mean to me.”
It continued, “You said when we first met that you wanted red tulle in your wedding dress. Did you know that red is the birthstone for July? And this is the month that we first met. Rubies are red, which is also the color of love. Every time you see the special gift I have for you, I want you to think of the day that we met, and this moment one year later. From the moment I met you I knew I had met my person. In my heart I’ve dreamed of this moment.”
Before popping the question, he added, “Christmas was how I planned this surprise, but when you know, you know and I don’t want to wait another moment to let the world know just how I feel. We can call it Christmas in July and from now until forever.”
