Once upon a time, in a maze of lockers and awkward puberty phases at Grassland Middle School, two unsuspecting souls found themselves. Don't be fooled though, it would be years before we would ever connect.

Fast forward to high school - the era of teenage angst. Holden found a particular joy in making fun of Tara in their Criminal Justice Class. But hey, who knew this teasing would turn out to be the quirky foundation of a love story.

After surviving the wild ride of college, life threw a curveball. The Vols beat Alabama... which sparked the best year, and the best romance we could imagine. Who would have known that college football and a silly instagram meme would bring together two people in the best way.

Tara and Holden went on their first date at their favorite Mexican restaurant Tito's. Our love for queso, margaritas, and each other was undeniable. After a year of concerts, travel, and countless Millie movie nights, Holden proposed to Tara at Eden Gardens State Park in Florida. This beautiful Charleston style plantation home became the backdrop for the start of forever.

Our next chapter is beginning at Bullbourne Ranch in Cornersville, TN. We cannot wait to have you all there to share in this special occasion with us.
