Our Wedding

Samantha and Tanner’s story all started back at Farragut High School where they had a couple classes together starting their sophomore year in August 2016, and they had become friends. Once they went off to college, Tanner went to Carbondale, Illinois, and Samantha stayed in Knoxville, Tennessee. They did not speak much unless it was telling each other happy birthday. After 2 years went by, Tanner decided to transfer from Southern Illinois University to East Tennessee State University, and on his first night out back in Knoxville, he ran into Samantha at a local bar, Half Barrel, in May 2021. From that moment on, it seemed to have been destined that they were meant to be together, and they started dating quickly after that night. The two of them continued to do long distance dating. Samantha stayed in Knoxville, TN, attending the Tennessee School of Beauty as she chased her dream of becoming a hairstylist, and Tanner was in Johnson City, TN for the next 2 years, finishing out college and his football career. After they both finished school, Tanner moved back to Knoxville, and they got a place together in May 2023. Samantha started her career in being a hairstylist at Willow &amp; Oak Hair Lounge, and Tanner was the Lead Advisor for Levels Wealth Partners. They decided to grow their family and got a puppy named Ella from the Humane Society in July 2023. As time went on, the two of them knew they were going to be together forever, and Tanner was ring shopping for about a year until he popped the big question. Samantha and Tanner got engaged in May 2024, and in the same month, they found out the beautiful news that they would be expecting their precious daughter, Avery Lane. Avery Lane Corum was born on January 6, 2025. Their journey together has been no less than a blessing, and they cannot wait to celebrate their big day with everyone, including Avery Lane Corum, on June 6, 2025.
