Tara and Jeremiah met at Saint Louis University while sharing their passion for Billiken athletics as SLUnatics (the student fan club). As both were heavily involved with the organization and attended countless sporting events, they grew to be friends-- often interacting in large groups. In the Fall of 2019, their Junior year, they had the opportunity to spend more time together as many of their friends studied abroad for the semester. After a long Winter Break, they hit it off quickly and began dating.

The early days were filled with busy schedules as both worked in restaurants, had full-time coursework, and avidly supported their Billikens. Although, things abruptly changed with the impact of the COVID-19 situation. Soon, Tara and Jeremiah were some of the few students remaining on-campus and had an abundance of time to spend with each other. During this period their love grew immensely and set the foundation of their relationship.

Fastforward through multiple internships/clinicals in different cities, graduations, apartments, full-time jobs, vacations, and holidays, Tara and Jeremiah have been through many life changing events over their 4 years together. They continue to love and support each other every day and look forward to expanding on that this September with family and friends!
