Our love story

How TyTin began

From a day after Christmas in Las Vegas to a midnight proposal on New Year's Day.

  1. December 26, 2022 · Las Vegas

    Where it started

    Tylor and Austin met in Las Vegas the day after Christmas. After a friendly first meeting in person, they exchanged numbers, and soon the texts and FaceTime calls were coming often. They weren't a couple yet, but Tylor kept finding reasons to visit Vegas. Austin was different from anyone he had tried to date before. They became friends first, with a whole lot of attraction on the side.

  2. January 13, 2023 · Cafe Lola

    Breakfast that lasted all day

    They met for breakfast at Cafe Lola, and it turned into an all day adventure. That was the start of their dating chapter.

  3. February 24, 2023

    Officially boyfriends

    About a month later, Austin asked Tylor to be his boyfriend.

  4. Late March 2023 · Molokaʻi

    “I’ll move here”

    A month later, Austin came to visit Tylor on Molokaʻi. At the time, Tylor was getting ready to move to Las Vegas to be with Austin. During the visit they took a stroll down the wharf, and Austin stepped away for some fresh air. He came back to a nervous Tylor waiting in the car and said, “I can’t take you away from your beautiful island. I’ll move here.” They celebrated with dinner at Hiro’s ʻOhana Grill.

  5. March 30, 2023 · Instagram

    Breaking the local internet

    They made it official on Instagram, and the post took off with over 80,000 views, 460 likes and 2,000 shares. Neither of them had ever posted a significant other before, so the texts and calls came pouring in.

  6. May 1, 2023 · Kaunakakai

    Home on Molokaʻi

    Austin moved to Molokaʻi, and the two found a place of their own at Puʻu Hauʻoli in Kaunakakai. It was the start of many adventures, events and vacations together.

  7. New Year’s Eve 2025 · January 1, 2026

    The proposal

    At 11:50 pm on December 31, Austin asked Tylor’s parents for their permission. At midnight on January 1, 2026, he got down on one knee and proposed with Tylor’s dream engagement ring, the Les Gastons Vuitton Small Ring in yellow gold and titanium.

  8. Today

    Building a life together

    Today they run their company, BUJIFIED Hawaii LLC, together full time. When they aren’t volunteering in their community, they’re traveling the world and taking on new opportunities. Next stop: July 17, 2027.

Getting around

Rent a car

You'll want a car on Molokaʻi. Alamo or Turo both work.

Welcome to Molokaʻi

Small island, big aloha

Molokaʻi is home for us, and we can't wait to share it with you. It's a small town island with about 7,000 people, no traffic lights, no chain restaurants and no building taller than a coconut tree. Life here moves slow, and that's the best part.

Everybody knows everybody, so expect to talk story. Wave back, say hi at the store, and don't be surprised when a quick errand turns into a half hour conversation. That's just how it is here.

A few things to know: cell service can be spotty, there are only a few ATMs so bring some cash, and many businesses close on Sundays. Please ask before going onto land that may be private, and take your photos with respect. Spending your money at local spots means a lot to this community.

Top 5 things to see & do

  1. 01

    Hālawa Valley cultural hike

    A guided walk through one of the oldest settled valleys in Hawaiʻi, ending with a swim at Moʻoʻula Falls. The trail crosses private family land, so you can only go with a guide. Book ahead with the Solatorio ʻohana, and plan on about a 1.5 hour drive to the East End.

  2. 02

    Kalaupapa Lookout

    At Pālāʻau State Park, look down about 1,600 feet onto the Kalaupapa peninsula, framed by some of the tallest sea cliffs in the world. Tours down to the peninsula are paused right now, but the lookout is free.

  3. 03

    Hot bread at Kanemitsu Bakery

    The Molokaʻi classic. At night, walk down the alley behind the bakery in Kaunakakai and get a fresh loaf filled with butter, cinnamon, cream cheese or jelly. There's no hot bread on Monday nights and the bakery is closed Tuesdays, so ask around for that night's hours.

  4. 04

    Post-a-Nut

    At the Hoʻolehua Post Office, pick a coconut, decorate it and mail it home with no box needed. The coconuts and markers are free, and you only pay for postage.

  5. 05

    Sunset at Pāpōhaku Beach

    Three miles of white sand on the West End, and the best sunset on the island. The surf and currents can be strong, so it's better for walking than swimming.
