fter meeting online and having their first date in March 2018, Catherine Moye and Tyler Churchill lost touch – until she posted the song “Living” by Dierks Bentley on Instagram months later. Tyler commented and rekindled not only a conversation between the two, but the couple’s Chapel Hill love story. As a Chapel Hill High School graduate and UNC alumnus, Tyler introduced Catherine, a Meredith College alumna from Goldsboro, to staples such as Finley Golf Course, Carolina Brewery and the stomping ground of the Tar Heels on their third date in late 2018. The day wrapped up with their first kiss in front of the Old Well. Two years later, on March 14, 2020, Tyler replicated the date but brought along an engagement ring. Thanks to the hospitality of the Graduate Hotel on Franklin Street and Tyler’s best friend, Dennis Fryer, officiating the ceremony, the couple’s big day was a dream of blue and pink on May 22, 2021. Trolly Stop provided late-night snacks and guests sipped on custom light blue margaritas. In true Tar Heel wedding fashion, the hashtag of the day was #GreatDayToBeAChurchill, which definitely proved to be true for Catherine. The couple lives in Raleigh where she works as a project manager in the interior design field and he is an account manager for the software company Yardi. CHM 94
