Our Story
We met in school, but not in any dramatic or movie-worthy way. We were classmates, nothing more than familiar faces in the hallways. We kept in touch over the years, but our conversations never crossed into romantic territory—just friends who shared memories of school and stayed updated on each other’s lives from time to time. Fast forward to 2022. Ruthie invited him out to hang out, hoping for a fun catch-up, but he couldn’t make it since he was out of state. However, a few days after he returned, he reached out, and we finally made plans for that long-overdue meetup. At first, it wasn’t anything more than just a friendly date—there was no pressure, no expectations. Our time together felt easy and natural, and before we knew it, we were having so much fun. It wasn’t love at first sight, but slowly, over time, we found ourselves connecting in ways that we hadn’t expected. It was like all those years of friendship had laid the perfect foundation, and when we took the time to really get to know each other, the pieces just clicked. It wasn’t some grand or sudden moment— But there was a night where we joked about our dating horror stories which led to "If we're single by 30, let's just marry each other" we went as far as to shaking on it. It's funny to think back to that day, because we are 231 days away from saying "I do". We truly wouldn't want it any other way, a life without each other seems like a bunch of Bologna! (Proof he helped write out our story) Thank you all for loving us, supporting us and embracing this love of ours. To our family, your continuous support, love and prayers never go unnoticed. With love, the Tatums.

Rebekah Montenegro
Maid of Honor
My sweet Becky, I know there was a lot of cautiousness on your end, your opinion was always the most important, but only because I knew you’d never allow me to be with someone that didn’t deserve me. For that I thank you, because I treaded lightly and I believe with all my heart that I found, HIM. I cannot imagine this day without you by my side ♡

Ciara my soon to be sister, I can’t thank you enough for always being so welcoming. From the start you opened your home to me although I was a stranger.

We can’t imagine this day without you by our side ♡
