There is a movie about their story…it’s called the Notebook!!! Seriously!! Instead of Noah going to the marines, Tanner went on his mission. So jealous you literally have the fairy tale kinda love story ❤️ (even though it didn’t feel like it then I’m sure lol )
It's no coincidence that I watched your story tonight. My son literally just went through this, this past month, with his brand new wife. She had chosen him as the final bachelor and married him, but it very quickly became painfully clear that she is still deeply in love with her high school boyfriend of four years. My son is devastated and and is now faced with divorce. Your story gives me compassion and more understanding for everyone involved. Thank you for sharing it.
Hope he is doing better now. Getting divorced sucks, but it also sucks staying with someone who you don't love, or worse, who doesn't love you, because I truly believe everybody deserves to be loved. He will get past this, maybe not today maybe not tomorrow, but he will look back in years to come and thank his lucky stars she did this, because by then, he will have found the love of his life. Hugs to you & him from an internet stranger 🫂
UGH!!! I'm so sorry for your son! I thought about my own son while watching this video and pray he never goes through this! My son's social group was largely Mormon (even though he's a Christian) and he dated 3 girls in that group throughout high school and they seemed pretty wholesome, but they all played him like a cheap violin bc he is not a Mormon. The last girl he dated ruined his 18th birthday last year (September 3rd), which ruined it for us as his parents too. I just pray God is preparing a Godly wife who will ONLY love my son. This was just painful to watch. I hope your son holds on for God to send him the true love of his life.❤️
It definitely is possible. I couldn’t believe it until I got together with my now husband. Do not settle. Everything you want in man is out there & he is waiting for you too.
Tanner & Derrick’s mom did such a great job. These are beautiful young men, partners, dads. And Sarah & Lo are amazing, too. Thank you all for sharing your family journey with us. You are all SO inspiring, sweet, silly & pure of heart. May your families grow in love and celebrate those milestones together as well as the little moments, too. Big hugs of appreciation from Colorado.
You'll find one. Just don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. EVER. I found my husband when I had given up on dating. Within a week of dating, I knew we would be married. That was almost 20 years ago. I was 22, broken off of an abusive relationship, a single mom with a beautiful little girl ..... I refused to allow to date anyone who wouldn't love her and adore her as much as me and I didn't think I'd find that person that would accept me as a packaged deal. But I did. You'll find yours. 💐
I met my husband after many years of not wanting to settle for less. He is good looking , emotionally mature and worships the ground I walk on. When we had our baby, that is when I fell for him even harder. He is the best dad to our girl.
Tanner is so Mature and calm. I have such deep respect for him and can only imagine the pain and suffering he must’ve gone through. This was a Well told story. I know they have two kids now and are happily married I hope that continues throughout their lives.
oh my gosh everyone deserves someone like Tanner. Thank God the older woman told him not to give up. I don’t even know if I could believe in love if your story didn’t continue the way I did. You two were made for each other without a doubt 😭💛
Literally this was two years ago and yall already have Stella and Ozzy and watching this I’m like everything happens for a reason!! This is nuts, beautiful, and helps a girl like me who just got out of a rocky relationship know that there is someone out there that is so computable with your souls that it hurts good!! So glad I watched this!
"then she went silent for 250 years..." I'm dead 😂😂 poor Tanner. . Your love story so closely matches mine and my hubby's. 🥰 This was awesome to watch. Thank you for being real and candid. ❤️
Having a man to wait for you and still holds on to you while you’re trying to figure yourself out is a blessing. Nowadays, no one waits not even for a day. Your story gives us hope that true love exist. Tanner is really one of a kind. Thank you for sharing this story. It must be hard re-living the difficult parts.
I sat there and watched your entire love story testimony. Although I’m older and have no children and have not experienced the kind of love that you describe, it has given me hope that there actually is real love in the world. I grew up horribly abused as a child and always told I wasn’t good enough. I made terrible decisions based on just what I learned. I only accepted relationships where people treated me like garbage because that’s how I was raised. Now here I am older thinking that real love doesn’t exist because I’ve never really experienced it on this earth. I do know that I’ve experienced it with Jesus. How interesting life would be to find someone who loves you the way you are through thick and thin, good times and bad times, sickness and health. It is said All the time during wedding vows But the only man I have experienced is one who either fights or flies during tough times. Thank you for giving me hope and inspiration that there are some good guys out there. I’m very happy that you guys have found each other and are creating happiness and hope.
I'm so glad you have Jesus because He is EVERYTHING! Even though I have a husband and children grown and am very thankful for it all... truth is that anyone putting their faith into a man will always be disappointed because men will fail you everytime rather put all your faith into God for he never will! Not sure how old you are but maybe it's not too late at least for children but no matter how old you are I see older folks that seem meant for each other getting together and married! But no matter what as long as you have Jesus there's not a thing wrong with being by youself ! You've got no one to stop you or hold you back from doing ANYTHING you want to do! I pray for blessings to enjoy the rest of your life no matter what having overcome the bad things youve suffered in your past ! 🌞
I found true love at age 50, I was finally ready to accept all the beauty the universe had in store for me, I finally believed I was worthy of all the love, kindness and beauty. The last 5 years I have lived more than all 50 years previous. He has made my dreams come true! Last year he moved me to Hawaii and we are living the dream. ❤️
💖💖💖 Don't be afraid & enjoy every moment of life. You're very strong. It's beyond painful when the adults who are supposed to care for you tear your heart out & stomp it into the ground. Who can you trust after that? Now you've been through the worst thing that a child can experience, a parent's betrayal & abuse. It's so awesome that you're able to face your pain & fear & still know deep in your heart that, yes, there are still good people & love out there. Surround yourself with people who enjoy your company. Concentrate on sharing your love with others & really start enjoying each minute. Love will find you.💖💞💖 (I experienced the same type of abuse in my childhood).
I can totally relate, my husband and I have been together for 53 years. Wouldn't change a thing. We're still madly in love and love being together. I wish you a very long and loving relationship, it really is the best!❤️
That is fantastic to hear! My parents were a teenage couple that met on a blind date my moms junior year of high school. They married 6 months after her graduation. My parents were together until my mom died in 2005. My dad is just the best. Reminds me alot of Tanner in the devotion that he had for my mom. My dad has been with my stepmom for about 13 years, and he is just as devoted to her. My parents would still be together and madly in love if she had not passed. I myself have been with my guy for 20 years. Takes a lot to get through that long with 1 person. My guy and myself look at it like this. When something that you love breaks, you have 2 choices. Throw it away and get a new one, or have the broken one mended. When you love somebody, you don't throw away something like that whole relationship away and start over. You stay and figure out how to fix it! I wish you and your hubby many more years of being happily married 💜
Me again, watching 3 yrs after the fact...that was a beautiful story!! You both went through SO much getting there! And now I see why you both can't bear being apart!! And since you made this, little Stella came around. I could so easily make your story into a book bc so many people never experience the ups and downs surrounding the most important decision in their lives. I have no doubt -- you two will be a "til death do us part" couple. And I know your girls are fun now, but when they grow older, you are in for so much hilarity and love. My daughter remains my little Beaty!! You have a lot to look forward to, but you are great in living for today, too! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing such a genuine, imperfectly perfect, and raw story. This video proves that love is real but you have to work for it. Love you guys so much!!
I am old enough to be y’all’s grandmother and I cried and cried when you are telling the story. Two years is a long time to wait for both of you but I commend you both for trying to do the best thing for the other. It is a very special story and I am glad you shared it with all of us!
It is so awesome to have recognized that your gut feeling not your head thinking led you to choose. So many young women get this wrong and make a choice that is not the soul mate. They listen to the head talk and sometimes outsiders who counsel them based on 'comfort' or financial advantage or stability, which though important, is not what makes a forever marriage in the deepest part of you. You both are so much fun to watch!
I think your love story is real. No lies, just honesty. Wow! Im so impressed with how grown up yall were.... Lo is an empath, and Tanner loved her enough to let her go....God blessed you both! I wish you two the best always. Never go to bed mad. Communication is the key to a real relationship. Im so happy for y'all.
I never ever comment, but your story is so precious, and I believe the reason for that is because you have God in your lives. Keep him with you in all you do, and have a wonderful, blessed life
The story of his prayer made me cry! That old lady was sent from the LORD, such a sweet reminder that God gives us the desires of our hearts for a REASON 🙌🏼 y’all are so chill I feel like we’re friends
Im here watching for the 3rd time. I watched it when it first came out 3 years ago but recently you and Sarah posted on a podcast about it so i decided to go rewatch. I just love you & Tanner. I hope to meet yall one day & wish you guys all the happiness. You have the cutest little family. Its crazy i dont know u guys but i root for your all & care about your sweet family. Oz & Stella are so lucky to have you two as parents. ❤❤
The other man she was dating sounds like he was a really great guy. I hope he found an amazing wife to raise a family with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. You seem like really lovely people! ❤️
Yall😭😭😭 my heart is feeling so many emotions. I love hearing mission stories. I met a boy at BYU-Hawaii and fell absolutely in love with him. He broke up with me before he left on his mission on SEPT 4th omg and then completely pushed me out of his life. He’s been away for 8 months. I dated someone for 5 months but it wasn’t anything like before. I don’t know if he’s still the one but i secretly hope so. Love y’all and your story! Thanks for sharing!
Aaaggghhhhh! 😭😭😭😭 Seeing the part around 22:00 was one of the most painfully emotional things I've ever watched!! I've been in a similar situation, and knowing how Lo felt and watching her face just talking about it made me feel that exact same way!!! You literally feel like your heart is going to crumble into a million pieces, then melt inside of your body, and your soul will be eternally sad. The only thing that makes me feel better is KNOWING THE OUTCOME!!! You and Tanner were destined for one another, and ordained by God. Every little girl and little boy wishes and prays for love like this...I wish it could happen for everyone.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I laughed, cried, felt warm inside, cold broken hearted, depressing, excited, so many emotions I felt through these 3 videos and I'd say you guys should be in movies because I literally felt like I could feel what you were going through. Thank You Both for sharing your love story. God Bless You and Your Family
I am a 70 year old grandma who watches your family always with a smile. Your story is so loving. You have my tears of happiness streaming down my face. Thank you for sharing!
That was such a brave thing to do, to open up about a very private part of your lives... so honest and raw. Young girls and boys need to understand and hear about all kinds of love stories. Perfection is something hard to achieve, we need to embrace that we are humans and with that comes emotions (lots of them), at the end of the day we need to be open about them to the people we care to let them know what we feel. So happy for you guys ❤️ A big hug from a Spanish gal living in Portugal
Your relationship based on a foundation of God is clearly why you came together after all of that. Most men are not ok with this type of situation, it’s like a dream listening to how he dealt with Lauren trying to navigate through life without her soulmate. God is so good and your family’s story is so amazing. The struggles we have to go through to get to our happily ever after are part of the end game story. Your family is proof that God works in mysterious ways. Your beautiful family’s story started with the gut feeling knowing he was the one God meant for you. I am so happy for you both to have found your soulmate❤️ Men of God are a blessing to the women they devote themselves to, there is no comparison to a God loving man who is in love
Just want to say, thank you for being so honest about your story. Long distance is hard and opening up about the struggles is helpful for so many people. This story definitely is a story about “if it’s meant to be it will be” so thanks and blessings
Your love for each other appears as a constant glow. It's beam is so strong! I hope everyone can get to experience the love you two are sharing. Love you both! ❣
like literally took me on a roller coaster i was laughing, i was crying, i was nervous. my heart was pounding when he was about to propose. i love this. love yall
My husband and I have a similar path that you two had. From age 14 to now, here we are 30 years later. Blessed, happy, and life has been beautiful. Blessings to you both and both the girls. 💙
literally had tears in my eyes the whole time. You guys have the most beautiful love story!! Thanks so much for being willing to share!! I love your fam and vlogs!!
Thank you for being so open about y’all’s journey. I know that wasn’t easy, but what a beautiful story you guys have. Going through life experiences like these make for really strong relationships. Y’all are a beautiful couple! Praying for many blessings over you and your sweet family! ❤️
I bet a lot of us never thought we'd be so invested in watching a 3part, back to back story about high school sweet hearts, but here we all are. I am shamelessly DRAWN in by their great story telling, while remembering all these good feelings of first crushes in HS, and the relatable awkward kissing phase.
Its a yr later for me but i def did what u did! & watched back to back! They r the sweetest couple! Its to bad all the high school sweethearts who thought it was going to b didnt work out like these two! I have a gson who was w his gfriend for 8yrs starting in jr high! We all thought theyd stay together, they were such a good couple together! They went thru all lot in all the yrs they were together & they always made it thru. He loved her parents, they loved him as their own! & i loved her. Covid came, he stayed w them @ her parents for over a yr. I had to keep working. Didnt want to have him home w me & go back & forth taking risks. I work in health care. Then everyone started going back to work. She took a job that wasnt conducent w their plans they had made. One thing lead to another & they broke up a yr ago last xmas!! Basically xmas day he came & told me it was over btween them. He moved out the next day & that was it!! All were heart broken. Thought for sure theyd work it out, get back together. It didnt happen. He went thru a hard time. Especially w moving an hr away to where he worked. He not only lost his gfriend he lost his family of 8yrs. Her mom had a very hard x also losing him. As she was like a mom to him! He was also not used to being by himself! Always had a family around him. Was then up in mts an hr away all by himself! Broke my heart! But he worked it all out for himself. Started dating..after quite a few dates & many mths he met another girl who hes been dating for a few mths now! So as fragile as they might seem & hurt as they r. She after 8yrs was not his destiny! & hes on a different path w someone else that is very sweet. I actually have not met her yet. Do know of her from my gson talking. He is stronger for going thru what he did. & he still keeps in touch w his x's mom. They txt, talk which im very happy about as she is one of my dear friends after all these yrs!!Know matter how much we want to protect them from being hurt, its not up to us! & his x is on her own journey, dating someone else that actually was part of the reason for the break up, according to him. Theres two sides to ea story though! I wish her only the best. Just want them all to b happy in whatever they choose! I could only pray my gson ends up as happy as these two r & someday start his journey on being a husband & a father when hes ready! He has a lot of the same qualities as tanner! So send him all your best wishes! Wasnt intending to write the story but it came out! Thanks for reading! Wish all the happiness that life has to offer to everyone in this new yr & always after!!
I’m really happy you two ended up together. I just discovered your videos and also the Beeston family videos and I’m really enjoying watching your journeys. I saw the birth vlog with Stella before this one and my heart melted just seeing the love you two have for each other and the way you looked at Tanner when he was looking at Stella and you were both very emotional… it made me emotional as well. ❤️ I’m glad you picked Tanner
i just finished watching this series! you can tell tanner has such a tender heart. i'm crying! so glad you guys ended up together. you're both perfect!
I love all kind of romance stories so I read a lot of it and I always feel this good feeling but I have never felt this about a real story and listening to u guys about your story was that best! I feel like the love is still around us and God is right here with us all the time🧡 thank you so much for sharing😭✨🙌🏻
My ex and I broke up last year. Similar to yours and Tanner's breakup, we were bawling our eyes out for so long, just hugging each other, and all I kept saying was "this isn't right." I've had that same sick feeling that Lauren described ever since. No clue how the rest of our story will unfold, but thank you for the glimmer of hope 💛
Thank you for being so honest about the cringey bits. Love doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful, or so I’m learning. You guys navigated it with maturity, and that’s really admirable. Great conclusion to this series 🥳
this is already my favorite RUclips video 2020 without a doubt. thank yall sooo much for sharing, yall the cutest and i personally benefited from it, what happened to tanner in the temple was definitely my fav part, so grateful to HF for that cause yalls love story was just the best and i didn't know what to do tonight ahahah
Wow, this was an emotional story. I had to take a few breaks from it, I was so overcome! Lauren, I admire your honesty and openness with these young men. I would have been afraid to tell them of one another and how I felt because I would think they’d both be offended and hurt and dump me and I’d lose them both. I’m glad things turned out for you and Tanner, and you’re so happily married now with 2 beautiful children. May God bless you always. 💕
I have to admit when I saw you in all the other videos I saw you differently. You were just laughing all the time.this showed the real and emotional you. I love the way your husband talks about how caring and loving you are to everyone.
After hearing your story, which was so full of emotion, I have a deep respect for your relationship. I'm so happy it was the two of you who ended up married to each other!❤️❤️
I was literally angry at you for dating other guys and leading him on knowing he wasn’t doing it to you. However after watching a few of your videos, your journey is your journey and the love you have for each other is palpable. ❤️❤️
Hands down my favorite couple of ALL TIME!! Your love story is so inspiring to me.. and I’m sure so many others of course. It shows what can happen if you wait for the right man of God and keep Jesus at the center. The story Tanner shared about the time he was praying in church, “don’t give up.” Ooo I got teared up myself! ❤️ you have a sincere and beautiful love that is truly refreshing to the soul..
💏💖You two are the most romantic, loving, sweet couple I have ever seen. Some day you will have to show these videos to your grandchildren so they can appreciate what true, true love is. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep them coming.
I love you both so much. Following your story for a long time now, but the birth of Stella was so special. It felt like we were part of this amazing experience... like family. Now stumbling across this story makes me appreciate y’all’s relationship even more. Tanner you are such a blessing to your girls and Lo. Lauren your an amazing mother and wife as well. May you continue to thrive as a family and keep the lord close to your heart. Thank you for sharing your life’s moments with us.❤️🙏
Wow. After reading your comment to Tanner & Lo, it made my heart so happy, and also made me wish I had a friend like you!! I bet you're such a positive, loving, fun person!!😊💜
I was absolutely crying listening to your story. I married the love of my life also. I knew that he was.my forever. Never would I change a thing, even when he was sick. He's been gone a year and I still reach for him every morning.
I don't usually like "reality" stuff but I am 72 Years old and sick to death of all the vulgarity and negativity. You folks are a breath of fresh air. So much fun to watch.
All I can say is that is pure love. The kind you work so hard for because you know that person is the one. Beautiful and heartbreaking story with a very happy ending.
Just listened and watched the full 45 minutes, fully hanging on every word! Thank you for being so authentic and transparent! Your love story is beautiful!
Love your story! I was told the night I met my husband he was my future companion, he wasn't a member of the church, and I was waiting for my missionary. I'm so glad I listen to that voice, my husband joined the church and has a wonderful testimony...plus we have been married 39 years next month. I was 19 less then a month when we were married. Thank you for sharing your love story.
I love seeing you guys grow up together in the pictures ♥️ both beautiful souls and beautiful people (also you’re such a pretty mom ♥️ vibrant, happy, full of life, and cool. I’m a new mom so it helps me feel like I can still be me and a mom. One doesn’t have to disappear for the other one to exist)
CRYING! 😭😭 Watched the entire thing with my hubs! your love story could seriously be turned into a movie, y'all are precious together!! Okay, now this is inspiring me to share our story on our channel 🙈❤️
I just binged all 3 parts and I’m just in AWE. I have followed your family for awhile now on Instagram but never watched any of your videos here on RUclips. Your story is so much deeper than I could imagine and I’m sitting here crying. You both have so much emotion and are great at telling your story. New favorite RUclips family. Gained so much more respect and love for y’all💗
I think I cried all the way from part 1 until the end of part 3 hahahaha you guys are truly such a special and beautiful couple (not to mention Miss Ozzy). Love you guys, this was amazing.
Seriously amazing and wild. I love following you guys. So authentic and real. I truly believe if two people are meant to be they will be and you guys are proof of that. Now you made THE cutest baby!
I’m watching this on September 5, 2022. I started watching this at around 03:30 knowing I should be sleeping. This video was filled with emotions. Tears were running down my eyes when Tanner said his mom asked him how it went. I’m happy that he knew God answered his question right away. That part of his story really shows that when we ask we always receive, we just have to put faith in it all.
I'm absolutely balling! Life is so complicated. Your story is powerful, heartbreaking, devastating, and beautiful, at the same time. I'm so glad you guys stayed together.
You two made cry in a happy way. I honestly see how much love there is between you two. I am 66 years old but your story touched my heart. Told you that because love has no age. I wish you two a blessed life together. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Honestly, y'alls story could be a movie. There was so much love and emotion behind all of your words and it was captivating. Thank you for sharing!!
My thoughts exactly!
haha right?? thanks so much !
There is a movie about their story…it’s called the Notebook!!! Seriously!! Instead of Noah going to the marines, Tanner went on his mission. So jealous you literally have the fairy tale kinda love story ❤️ (even though it didn’t feel like it then I’m sure lol )
LITERALLY WHAT IM SAYING!!!😍🤩🥰🤗
So true!
The moment when the woman told Tan not to give up, WOW. God was working through her. What an amazing part of your story
tell me why i sat through this feeling so anxious as if i didnt know who lo was gonna end up with ... I was like oh crap she chose the other guy.
hahahaha this might be my favorite comment
Swear I was thinking the same thing with tears in my eyes then died laughing when I realized
Lmao
😂😂
Too funny I was thinking the same thing. LOL...
It's no coincidence that I watched your story tonight. My son literally just went through this, this past month, with his brand new wife. She had chosen him as the final bachelor and married him, but it very quickly became painfully clear that she is still deeply in love with her high school boyfriend of four years. My son is devastated and and is now faced with divorce. Your story gives me compassion and more understanding for everyone involved. Thank you for sharing it.
How’s he doing now? X
Hope he is doing better now. Getting divorced sucks, but it also sucks staying with someone who you don't love, or worse, who doesn't love you, because I truly believe everybody deserves to be loved. He will get past this, maybe not today maybe not tomorrow, but he will look back in years to come and thank his lucky stars she did this, because by then, he will have found the love of his life. Hugs to you & him from an internet stranger 🫂
This happened to my friend’s sister but one she made her choice, the other guy didn’t want her back so she ended up without either one in the end.
I’m sorry about your son. Hopefully he finds his eternal companion. My heart breaks for him. 💔🥹
UGH!!! I'm so sorry for your son! I thought about my own son while watching this video and pray he never goes through this!
My son's social group was largely Mormon (even though he's a Christian) and he dated 3 girls in that group throughout high school and they seemed pretty wholesome, but they all played him like a cheap violin bc he is not a Mormon. The last girl he dated ruined his 18th birthday last year (September 3rd), which ruined it for us as his parents too. I just pray God is preparing a Godly wife who will ONLY love my son. This was just painful to watch.
I hope your son holds on for God to send him the true love of his life.❤️
seeing this level of empathy and love and non-controlling and healthy emotions of a guy has helped me so much. It is possible.
It definitely is possible. I couldn’t believe it until I got together with my now husband. Do not settle. Everything you want in man is out there & he is waiting for you too.
Tanner & Derrick’s mom did such a great job. These are beautiful young men, partners, dads. And Sarah & Lo are amazing, too. Thank you all for sharing your family journey with us. You are all SO inspiring, sweet, silly & pure of heart. May your families grow in love and celebrate those milestones together as well as the little moments, too. Big hugs of appreciation from Colorado.
Is it just the 2 boys or do they have more siblings? And are they ALL 4 mormon?
@henessy3022 they have a sister she does hair...she's been in some of their videos
I’m sobbing… I just want a man to love me as much as Tanner loves Lauren
You'll find one. Just don't settle for anything less than what you deserve. EVER. I found my husband when I had given up on dating. Within a week of dating, I knew we would be married.
That was almost 20 years ago.
I was 22, broken off of an abusive relationship, a single mom with a beautiful little girl ..... I refused to allow to date anyone who wouldn't love her and adore her as much as me and I didn't think I'd find that person that would accept me as a packaged deal. But I did.
You'll find yours. 💐
Me too!! 😭
Facts❤️❤️
I met my husband after many years of not wanting to settle for less. He is good looking , emotionally mature and worships the ground I walk on. When we had our baby, that is when I fell for him even harder. He is the best dad to our girl.
Know good guys are out there! Never settle!!
Tanner is so Mature and calm. I have such deep respect for him and can only imagine the pain and suffering he must’ve gone through. This was a Well told story. I know they have two kids now and are happily married I hope that continues throughout their lives.
oh my gosh everyone deserves someone like Tanner. Thank God the older woman told him not to give up. I don’t even know if I could believe in love if your story didn’t continue the way I did. You two were made for each other without a doubt 😭💛
everybody seriously does. I'm a lucky girl!!
Literally this was two years ago and yall already have Stella and Ozzy and watching this I’m like everything happens for a reason!! This is nuts, beautiful, and helps a girl like me who just got out of a rocky relationship know that there is someone out there that is so computable with your souls that it hurts good!! So glad I watched this!
"then she went silent for 250 years..." I'm dead 😂😂 poor Tanner.
.
Your love story so closely matches mine and my hubby's. 🥰 This was awesome to watch. Thank you for being real and candid. ❤️
haha so dramatic 😂 😂
Having a man to wait for you and still holds on to you while you’re trying to figure yourself out is a blessing. Nowadays, no one waits not even for a day. Your story gives us hope that true love exist. Tanner is really one of a kind. Thank you for sharing this story. It must be hard re-living the difficult parts.
You are so right!! Now a days of it isn’t an instant answer than that’s it..
Righttt cuz if i was tanner I would've left lol
I sat there and watched your entire love story testimony. Although I’m older and have no children and have not experienced the kind of love that you describe, it has given me hope that there actually is real love in the world. I grew up horribly abused as a child and always told I wasn’t good enough. I made terrible decisions based on just what I learned. I only accepted relationships where people treated me like garbage because that’s how I was raised. Now here I am older thinking that real love doesn’t exist because I’ve never really experienced it on this earth. I do know that I’ve experienced it with Jesus. How interesting life would be to find someone who loves you the way you are through thick and thin, good times and bad times, sickness and health. It is said All the time during wedding vows But the only man I have experienced is one who either fights or flies during tough times. Thank you for giving me hope and inspiration that there are some good guys out there. I’m very happy that you guys have found each other and are creating happiness and hope.
I think you’re my identical twin🌸💖 the one exception is that I have 2 kids. But, I never trusted enough to get married 😳
I'm so glad you have Jesus because He is EVERYTHING! Even though I have a husband and children grown and am very thankful for it all... truth is that anyone putting their faith into a man will always be disappointed because men will fail you everytime rather put all your faith into God for he never will! Not sure how old you are but maybe it's not too late at least for children but no matter how old you are I see older folks that seem meant for each other getting together and married! But no matter what as long as you have Jesus there's not a thing wrong with being by youself ! You've got no one to stop you or hold you back from doing ANYTHING you want to do! I pray for blessings to enjoy the rest of your life no matter what having overcome the bad things youve suffered in your past ! 🌞
I found true love at age 50, I was finally ready to accept all the beauty the universe had in store for me, I finally believed I was worthy of all the love, kindness and beauty. The last 5 years I have lived more than all 50 years previous. He has made my dreams come true! Last year he moved me to Hawaii and we are living the dream. ❤️

Don't be afraid & enjoy every moment of life.
You're very strong.
It's beyond painful when the adults who are supposed to care for you tear your heart out & stomp it into the ground.
Who can you trust after that?
Now you've been through the worst thing that a child can experience, a parent's betrayal & abuse.
It's so awesome that you're able to face your pain & fear & still know deep in your heart that, yes, there are still good people & love out there.
Surround yourself with people who enjoy your company.
Concentrate on sharing your love with others & really start enjoying each minute.
Love will find you.💖💞💖
(I experienced the same type of abuse in my childhood).
@@SP_33333 thank you!
Dude. I can’t. God is so incredible! He truly cares about our love lives. The fact that He gave the message to the woman. It’s so beautiful! ❤️
This made me cry so many tears of joy. When he talked about his prayer it just made me feel so happy for you guys
thanks so much kasia!!
I can totally relate, my husband and I have been together for 53 years. Wouldn't change a thing. We're still madly in love and love being together. I wish you a very long and loving relationship, it really is the best!❤️
That is fantastic to hear! My parents were a teenage couple that met on a blind date my moms junior year of high school. They married 6 months after her graduation. My parents were together until my mom died in 2005. My dad is just the best. Reminds me alot of Tanner in the devotion that he had for my mom. My dad has been with my stepmom for about 13 years, and he is just as devoted to her. My parents would still be together and madly in love if she had not passed. I myself have been with my guy for 20 years. Takes a lot to get through that long with 1 person. My guy and myself look at it like this. When something that you love breaks, you have 2 choices. Throw it away and get a new one, or have the broken one mended. When you love somebody, you don't throw away something like that whole relationship away and start over. You stay and figure out how to fix it! I wish you and your hubby many more years of being happily married 💜
@@jenbingham0914 thank you and I'm sorry for the loss of your mom, that's a hard one for sure. Health and happiness to you and your guy.
i’m here like who is she gonna pick when tanner and her are literally married.
hahaha that's so funny
I was so stressed! And then I read your comment and was like okay okay were good it's fine we're all fine
@@thebeestonbunch it’s because you and Tanner are excellent storytellers. You bring us in, so we feel the suspense.
I know right?! The suspense!
Oh wow I’m like a year late and I know they have Ozzy but I’m the same I’m like come on plz pick Tanner. Hehe.x
Me again, watching 3 yrs after the fact...that was a beautiful story!! You both went through SO much getting there! And now I see why you both can't bear being apart!! And since you made this, little Stella came around. I could so easily make your story into a book bc so many people never experience the ups and downs surrounding the most important decision in their lives. I have no doubt -- you two will be a "til death do us part" couple. And I know your girls are fun now, but when they grow older, you are in for so much hilarity and love. My daughter remains my little Beaty!! You have a lot to look forward to, but you are great in living for today, too! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing such a genuine, imperfectly perfect, and raw story. This video proves that love is real but you have to work for it. Love you guys so much!!
thanks so much aubri ❤️
I am old enough to be y’all’s grandmother and I cried and cried when you are telling the story. Two years is a long time to wait for both of you but I commend you both for trying to do the best thing for the other. It is a very special story and I am glad you shared it with all of us!
Obsessed. In tears. Maybe one of the greatest love stories I've ever heard. Absolutely amazing. I hope you 2 have a long and happy life together.
you're way too nice. thanks abby!
It is so awesome to have recognized that your gut feeling not your head thinking led you to choose. So many young women get this wrong and make a choice that is not the soul mate. They listen to the head talk and sometimes outsiders who counsel them based on 'comfort' or financial advantage or stability, which though important, is not what makes a forever marriage in the deepest part of you. You both are so much fun to watch!
tanners experience in the temple had me cryin 🥺💓 coolest love story
it's the best! thank you so much ♥️
I think your love story is real. No lies, just honesty. Wow! Im so impressed with how grown up yall were.... Lo is an empath, and Tanner loved her enough to let her go....God blessed you both! I wish you two the best always. Never go to bed mad. Communication is the key to a real relationship. Im so happy for y'all.
We all need somebody who loves and fights for us like tanner does for Lauren ❤️
its true 😭
Wouldn’t the world be such a beautiful place!
I never ever comment, but your story is so precious, and I believe the reason for that is because you have God in your lives. Keep him with you in all you do, and have a wonderful, blessed life
The story of his prayer made me cry! That old lady was sent from the LORD, such a sweet reminder that God gives us the desires of our hearts for a REASON 🙌🏼
y’all are so chill I feel like we’re friends
it's the best thing that's happened to us! thankful for that everyday ❤️
Im here watching for the 3rd time. I watched it when it first came out 3 years ago but recently you and Sarah posted on a podcast about it so i decided to go rewatch. I just love you & Tanner. I hope to meet yall one day & wish you guys all the happiness. You have the cutest little family. Its crazy i dont know u guys but i root for your all & care about your sweet family. Oz & Stella are so lucky to have you two as parents. ❤❤
BEEN WAITIN’ FOR THIS AND IT DIDN’T DISAPPOINT
that makes me so happy!
The other man she was dating sounds like he was a really great guy. I hope he found an amazing wife to raise a family with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. You seem like really lovely people! ❤️
Yall😭😭😭 my heart is feeling so many emotions. I love hearing mission stories. I met a boy at BYU-Hawaii and fell absolutely in love with him. He broke up with me before he left on his mission on SEPT 4th omg and then completely pushed me out of his life. He’s been away for 8 months. I dated someone for 5 months but it wasn’t anything like before. I don’t know if he’s still the one but i secretly hope so. Love y’all and your story! Thanks for sharing!
I hope it works out for you!! God has a way of making sure what's supposed to happen will happen so stay strong!
you were brought together forever for a reason, Jesus knows your life story and how many peoples lives you will touch
I NEVER HAVE TO SEE A LOVE MOVIE EVER AGAIN ❤
haha thanks so much for watching!
Aaaggghhhhh! 😭😭😭😭 Seeing the part around 22:00 was one of the most painfully emotional things I've ever watched!! I've been in a similar situation, and knowing how Lo felt and watching her face just talking about it made me feel that exact same way!!! You literally feel like your heart is going to crumble into a million pieces, then melt inside of your body, and your soul will be eternally sad. The only thing that makes me feel better is KNOWING THE OUTCOME!!! You and Tanner were destined for one another, and ordained by God. Every little girl and little boy wishes and prays for love like this...I wish it could happen for everyone.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I laughed, cried, felt warm inside, cold broken hearted, depressing, excited, so many emotions I felt through these 3 videos and I'd say you guys should be in movies because I literally felt like I could feel what you were going through. Thank You Both for sharing your love story. God Bless You and Your Family
I am a 70 year old grandma who watches your family always with a smile. Your story is so loving. You have my tears of happiness streaming down my face. Thank you for sharing!
That was such a brave thing to do, to open up about a very private part of your lives... so honest and raw. Young girls and boys need to understand and hear about all kinds of love stories. Perfection is something hard to achieve, we need to embrace that we are humans and with that comes emotions (lots of them), at the end of the day we need to be open about them to the people we care to let them know what we feel. So happy for you guys ❤️ A big hug from a Spanish gal living in Portugal
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Loved reading what you had to say about love stories. It's so true!
Your relationship based on a foundation of God is clearly why you came together after all of that. Most men are not ok with this type of situation, it’s like a dream listening to how he dealt with Lauren trying to navigate through life without her soulmate. God is so good and your family’s story is so amazing. The struggles we have to go through to get to our happily ever after are part of the end game story. Your family is proof that God works in mysterious ways. Your beautiful family’s story started with the gut feeling knowing he was the one God meant for you. I am so happy for you both to have found your soulmate❤️ Men of God are a blessing to the women they devote themselves to, there is no comparison to a God loving man who is in love
Just want to say, thank you for being so honest about your story. Long distance is hard and opening up about the struggles is helpful for so many people. This story definitely is a story about “if it’s meant to be it will be” so thanks and blessings
thanks for the kind words Javi ❤️
❤️❤️When you said the woman told “Don’t give up” I could help but cry. You guy’s story is so beautiful
What a beautiful testimony of love, endurance & faith.
God makes the impossible, possible ❤️.
Your love for each other appears as a constant glow. It's beam is so strong! I hope everyone can get to experience the love you two are sharing. Love you both! ❣
like literally took me on a roller coaster i was laughing, i was crying, i was nervous. my heart was pounding when he was about to propose. i love this. love yall
aw thanks eliza!! so happy you liked it :)
My husband and I have a similar path that you two had. From age 14 to now, here we are 30 years later. Blessed, happy, and life has been beautiful. Blessings to you both and both the girls. 💙
literally had tears in my eyes the whole time. You guys have the most beautiful love story!! Thanks so much for being willing to share!! I love your fam and vlogs!!
thanks brinley thats so nice of you!!
Great example of a good solid foundation. Memories to fall back on when the relationship gets tested. Love these young adults. ❤❤❤
Thank you for being so open about y’all’s journey. I know that wasn’t easy, but what a beautiful story you guys have. Going through life experiences like these make for really strong relationships. Y’all are a beautiful couple! Praying for many blessings over you and your sweet family! ❤️
thank you so much brittany!! you're so nice
I bet a lot of us never thought we'd be so invested in watching a 3part, back to back story about high school sweet hearts, but here we all are. I am shamelessly DRAWN in by their great story telling, while remembering all these good feelings of first crushes in HS, and the relatable awkward kissing phase.
Its a yr later for me but i def did what u did! & watched back to back! They r the sweetest couple! Its to bad all the high school sweethearts who thought it was going to b didnt work out like these two! I have a gson who was w his gfriend for 8yrs starting in jr high! We all thought theyd stay together, they were such a good couple together! They went thru all lot in all the yrs they were together & they always made it thru. He loved her parents, they loved him as their own! & i loved her. Covid came, he stayed w them @ her parents for over a yr. I had to keep working. Didnt want to have him home w me & go back & forth taking risks. I work in health care. Then everyone started going back to work. She took a job that wasnt conducent w their plans they had made. One thing lead to another & they broke up a yr ago last xmas!! Basically xmas day he came & told me it was over btween them. He moved out the next day & that was it!! All were heart broken. Thought for sure theyd work it out, get back together. It didnt happen. He went thru a hard time. Especially w moving an hr away to where he worked. He not only lost his gfriend he lost his family of 8yrs. Her mom had a very hard x also losing him. As she was like a mom to him! He was also not used to being by himself! Always had a family around him. Was then up in mts an hr away all by himself! Broke my heart! But he worked it all out for himself. Started dating..after quite a few dates & many mths he met another girl who hes been dating for a few mths now! So as fragile as they might seem & hurt as they r. She after 8yrs was not his destiny! & hes on a different path w someone else that is very sweet. I actually have not met her yet. Do know of her from my gson talking. He is stronger for going thru what he did. & he still keeps in touch w his x's mom. They txt, talk which im very happy about as she is one of my dear friends after all these yrs!!Know matter how much we want to protect them from being hurt, its not up to us! & his x is on her own journey, dating someone else that actually was part of the reason for the break up, according to him. Theres two sides to ea story though! I wish her only the best. Just want them all to b happy in whatever they choose! I could only pray my gson ends up as happy as these two r & someday start his journey on being a husband & a father when hes ready! He has a lot of the same qualities as tanner! So send him all your best wishes! Wasnt intending to write the story but it came out! Thanks for reading! Wish all the happiness that life has to offer to everyone in this new yr & always after!!
stop it right now. this was perfect
aw thanks cass!
I’m really happy you two ended up together. I just discovered your videos and also the Beeston family videos and I’m really enjoying watching your journeys. I saw the birth vlog with Stella before this one and my heart melted just seeing the love you two have for each other and the way you looked at Tanner when he was looking at Stella and you were both very emotional… it made me emotional as well. ❤️ I’m glad you picked Tanner
i just finished watching this series! you can tell tanner has such a tender heart. i'm crying! so glad you guys ended up together. you're both perfect!
he really does tho 😭 thanks for watching!
The fact you have a relationship based on honestly god and love is amazing and why you will be together forever
This melted my heart! So so so happy you two found each other and stuck together through it all! Such a precious story. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Your story should be made into a movie 😭❤️ honestly soo emotional and wholesome 🥺❤️❤️
I love all kind of romance stories so I read a lot of it and I always feel this good feeling but I have never felt this about a real story and listening to u guys about your story was that best! I feel like the love is still around us and God is right here with us all the time🧡 thank you so much for sharing😭✨🙌🏻
That's so nice of you Maria! thank you so much
My ex and I broke up last year. Similar to yours and Tanner's breakup, we were bawling our eyes out for so long, just hugging each other, and all I kept saying was "this isn't right." I've had that same sick feeling that Lauren described ever since. No clue how the rest of our story will unfold, but thank you for the glimmer of hope 💛
Thank you for being so honest about the cringey bits. Love doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful, or so I’m learning. You guys navigated it with maturity, and that’s really admirable. Great conclusion to this series 🥳
thanks so much jin. it really is so scary to share all of this stuff and so i appreciate your nice words :)
@@thebeestonbunch I'm honestly so excited you replied :) made my day
I’m in tears happy for you both and so moved by this. The Notebook pails by comparison. 😍 This should be a screenplay!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Two years is a long time. So glad you ended up with Tanner. Love Tanners new look.
The sweetest & most gorgeous couple I've ever seen! 🎉
this is already my favorite RUclips video 2020 without a doubt. thank yall sooo much for sharing, yall the cutest and i personally benefited from it, what happened to tanner in the temple was definitely my fav part, so grateful to HF for that cause yalls love story was just the best and i didn't know what to do tonight ahahah
I'm so glad it was able to help you! that's what we were hoping for ❤️ you're so nice for watching and i'm glad you liked it!!
So relatable, the push and pull of making sure you are making the right decision and the most important decision in your life.
i’m in the club crying rn because i finally watched the last part of this and this is amazing oh my
aww thanks so much alexia. way too nice! 💕
Wow, this was an emotional story. I had to take a few breaks from it, I was so overcome! Lauren, I admire your honesty and openness with these young men. I would have been afraid to tell them of one another and how I felt because I would think they’d both be offended and hurt and dump me and I’d lose them both. I’m glad things turned out for you and Tanner, and you’re so happily married now with 2 beautiful children. May God bless you always. 💕
Yeah it's a lot
I literally can't take how sweet your little family is! 😍 Gives me faith in Humanity! ❤ u guys!
I have to admit when I saw you in all the other videos I saw you differently. You were just laughing all the time.this showed the real and emotional you. I love the way your husband talks about how caring and loving you are to everyone.
i’m so glad neither of you gave up! it’s so heartwarming seeing you have such an amazing life with your soulmate🥺
it's an amazing feeling
You guys are just precious. Just discovered you from YT Shorts and I love your story. The love you have for each other is beautiful. 💕
Crying in the club. I’m so happy your souls found each other. Meant to be ❤️
After hearing your story, which was so full of emotion, I have a deep respect for your relationship. I'm so happy it was the two of you who ended up married to each other!❤️❤️
I was literally angry at you for dating other guys and leading him on knowing he wasn’t doing it to you. However after watching a few of your videos, your journey is your journey and the love you have for each other is palpable. ❤️❤️
Hands down my favorite couple of ALL TIME!! Your love story is so inspiring to me.. and I’m sure so many others of course. It shows what can happen if you wait for the right man of God and keep Jesus at the center. The story Tanner shared about the time he was praying in church, “don’t give up.” Ooo I got teared up myself! ❤️ you have a sincere and beautiful love that is truly refreshing to the soul..
The honesty you two are able to share is everything. 💙
💏💖You two are the most romantic, loving, sweet couple I have ever seen. Some day you will have to show these videos to your grandchildren so they can appreciate what true, true love is. I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Keep them coming.
I love you both so much. Following your story for a long time now, but the birth of Stella was so special. It felt like we were part of this amazing experience... like family. Now stumbling across this story makes me appreciate y’all’s relationship even more. Tanner you are such a blessing to your girls and Lo. Lauren your an amazing mother and wife as well. May you continue to thrive as a family and keep the lord close to your heart. Thank you for sharing your life’s moments with us.❤️🙏
Wow. After reading your comment to Tanner & Lo, it made my heart so happy, and also made me wish I had a friend like you!! I bet you're such a positive, loving, fun person!!😊💜
I was absolutely crying listening to your story. I married the love of my life also. I knew that he was.my forever. Never would I change a thing, even when he was sick. He's been gone a year and I still reach for him every morning.
I don't usually like "reality" stuff but I am 72 Years old and sick to death of all the vulgarity and negativity. You folks are a breath of fresh air. So much fun to watch.
All I can say is that is pure love. The kind you work so hard for because you know that person is the one. Beautiful and heartbreaking story with a very happy ending.
Thank you for sharing your modern day miracle love story!! The revelations that both of you recurved are soo precious! Love you both!
Of course!! thank you for watching
Wow!!! Tanner is an unusual gentleman with a gooooood and pure heart. Many guys would not act this way. Guess this love story is heaven made.
Just listened and watched the full 45 minutes, fully hanging on every word! Thank you for being so authentic and transparent! Your love story is beautiful!
Beautiful story! 🧡❤️💙🧡💚💛
Love your story! I was told the night I met my husband he was my future companion, he wasn't a member of the church, and I was waiting for my missionary. I'm so glad I listen to that voice, my husband joined the church and has a wonderful testimony...plus we have been married 39 years next month. I was 19 less then a month when we were married. Thank you for sharing your love story.
Aaaawwww that was a real life hallmark story i am so happy for you both, y’all are soulmates 💜💜
I love seeing you guys grow up together in the pictures ♥️ both beautiful souls and beautiful people (also you’re such a pretty mom ♥️ vibrant, happy, full of life, and cool. I’m a new mom so it helps me feel like I can still be me and a mom. One doesn’t have to disappear for the other one to exist)
CRYING! 😭😭 Watched the entire thing with my hubs! your love story could seriously be turned into a movie, y'all are precious together!! Okay, now this is inspiring me to share our story on our channel 🙈❤️
please share yours!! and let me know when it's posted so I can watch it!!!!
I just binged all 3 parts and I’m just in AWE. I have followed your family for awhile now on Instagram but never watched any of your videos here on RUclips. Your story is so much deeper than I could imagine and I’m sitting here crying. You both have so much emotion and are great at telling your story. New favorite RUclips family. Gained so much more respect and love for y’all💗
I need a Tanner in my life! Beautiful story. Love you both and both your babies too! Your fairytale was meant to be! Much love! xoxo
Poor Tanner. That's heartbreaking. Tanner your a solid dude, you did not deserve that.
I think I cried all the way from part 1 until the end of part 3 hahahaha you guys are truly such a special and beautiful couple (not to mention Miss Ozzy). Love you guys, this was amazing.
Thank you so much!! You're so nice
Whomever the Beeston Boys Mom & Dad are - they have got to be so proud of their sons & the family's they are sharing with the world.
i smiled so big when tanner started clapping!! such a cute story!! 🥺💘
haha it gets me every time!
Yes i loved hearing how you two met . Its a joy watching your videos and vlogs . Your children are so adorable and sweet.❤
Seriously amazing and wild. I love following you guys. So authentic and real. I truly believe if two people are meant to be they will be and you guys are proof of that. Now you made THE cutest baby!
amazing and wild is a perfect way to describe it haha. thanks shea!!
I’m watching this on September 5, 2022. I started watching this at around 03:30 knowing I should be sleeping. This video was filled with emotions. Tears were running down my eyes when Tanner said his mom asked him how it went. I’m happy that he knew God answered his question right away. That part of his story really shows that when we ask we always receive, we just have to put faith in it all.
You felt jumbled and guilty but it suddenly changed when you realized you have nothing to be afraid of anymore.
I just love both Beeston families! You are all adorable! Your parents must all be so proud of y'all.
This is the sweetest thing ever, definitely made me tear up! So happy for you guys !!
you're too nice 💕
I'm absolutely balling! Life is so complicated. Your story is powerful, heartbreaking, devastating, and beautiful, at the same time. I'm so glad you guys stayed together.
You two made cry in a happy way. I honestly see how much love there is between you two.
I am 66 years old but your story touched my heart. Told you that because love has no age. I wish you two a blessed life together.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
