In typical millennial fashion, Chris and Tara met through the Hinge dating app. The only thing that wasn't so typical was that he messaged her while she was volunteering for a global teaching program in Africa! They casually messaged back and forth through spotty WiFi and a twelve hour time difference for the summer. When Tara finally came back to Texas they went on their first date. The two connected over margaritas and their mutual love for golden retrievers. After their first date, Chris called a friend and said he met the future Mrs. Lear. Tara called her sister and said that Chris's truck was... a lot. As much as Tara was determined not have anything serious, he won her over and the two quickly became inseparable. Fast forward over three years later... Chris and Tara bought a home together in Celina, Texas and have a golden retriever of their own named River! They love spending time with family, traveling, exploring wineries, and of course, cuddling with River. The couple couldn’t be more excited to bring their families and loved ones together to celebrate their marriage!
