Tanner and Chandler both grew up in western Colorado and attended neighboring high schools only 10 miles apart. Tanner graduated in 2013 and Chandler graduated in 2015. After high school, Tanner became a hunting guide and Chandler went to college to become a paralegal. Their paths took them across the world (literally) but in the winter of 2021, they both found themselves back in their hometown, relentlessly independent, happy and focusing on their careers. However, they're friends, Jessica and Wyatt, had other plans in mind. Jessica and Chandler had been friends since they were 3 years old, and Tanner and Wyatt had been best friends for years. Jessica had been asking Tanner if she could set him up on a blind date for months, but he was very reluctant to agree. She finally broke through and when he agreed, she reached out to Chandler. Of course, Chandler had the same reaction as Tanner and was hesitant but Jessica was persistent and eventually, Chandler broke down too. Elated, Jessica made all the arrangements. They met at a local steakhouse in town, and it was very clear the nerves were high on both sides. But despite that, they had a great night and as they say, the rest is history. But the funniest part is how much sooner their paths could have crossed and possibly how many times they did but the two never noticed. The more time they spent together, the more they realized that they had a lot the same friends and even relatives that knew each other in the past. Tanner’s stepdad worked on a job with a company that Chandler’s dad worked for at the time and Chandler and Tanner’s grandparents even lived on the same street when the two were kids. But since that sweet night in May of 2021, Tanner and Chandler have been nothing but happy. They bring out the best in each other and believe that life is about the experiences you have and the people you share them with. They hunt in several states across the western US and enjoy fly fishing, snowmobiling, dirt biking, shed hunting, camping, and taking the UTV out for a joy ride in the mountains in every spare moment they have. They have been together for almost four years and are very excited to start their life as husband & wife.
