Our story began in high school, where we were good friends who shared a special bond. From being each other’s prom dates to sharing countless laughs and memories, we always knew there was something between us. When we both went to Indiana University, our connection only grew stronger. College is where our relationship truly blossomed, and we found ourselves falling even deeper in love with each other and the future we imagined together. After graduation, life took us on different paths—Tatum moved to Texas for graduate school, and Ben dove into the intense world of medical school. Even though we were miles apart, we made it work. The distance only made our connection stronger, with endless phone calls, sweet reunions, and surprise visits. Every moment apart was a reminder that no matter the distance, we were meant to be. Now, we’re back in our home state, ready to start this next chapter of our journey together. We couldn’t be more excited to marry each other and celebrate with all of the people who’ve been a part of our love story along the way. We can’t wait to share this special day with you!
