Together in Faith, Together in Love

Lauren and Tanner met at an Oklahoma State University watch bar, where football, friends, and a little fate brought them together. Tanner really won Lauren over when he attempted to make homemade broccoli cheese soup—points for effort.Before long, they were inseparable, and about eight months later they upgraded their duo to a trio by adding Rudy, their 90-lb golden retriever. Since then, life has been filled with love, laughter, tail wags, and countless memories. On December 23, 2025, Tanner popped the question at a yacht club near Tampa, Florida—and Lauren said yes (Rudy approved).
