Tobruk met Ben while the two were working as coaches at Boise State University. Only 4 short months after meeting, Ben would later move to Washington, then to Oregon after another year. Still, the hardships of long distance relationships didn't deter the pair as they kept their relationship going for 3 years even while apart.

"It was clear that we both wanted to make this relationship last, as we sacrificed a lot for one another, maintaining a long distance relationship," Tobruk shared.

On February of 2017, Ben made a surprise visit to Boise, taking Tobruk to McCall Idaho for a weekend getaway. Little did she know, there was a plan for a proposal on the way to their mini-vacation.

On the way to McCall, the couple stopped by at Tobruk's father's cabin. Unaware that the whole trip was planned ahead of time, Tobruk called in to make sure her father was home. With a warm welcome, the couple proceeded to make their way to the family cabin.

"As I approached the house and opened the door, about 25 people, all of my family along with Ben's greeted me. I was in shock! Truly, shock!" Tobruk recalled.

As she turned around to question Ben of what was going on, she found him on one knee. Needless to say -- She said yes, and the weekend went on with a vibrant buzz of romance and magic in the air.

When it came to saying 'yes' to the dress, Toburk found a similar special feeling from finding the one that would stick in the back of her mind. "After a long day of shopping, I found myself surrounded by an array of beautiful dresses, but I couldn't stop thinking of Nika (Style C107)."

Tobruk was taken by the alluring front slip that gave the dress a sexy and sophisticated feel, unique to any other gown she tried on. The bride-to-be took her mother and a pair of friends to La Niege to get their second opinions.

When asked what her favorite moment from her wedding was, Tobruk shared,"Walking down the aisle to Ben Harper's 'Forever' and forgetting that there were 150 people there watching. At that moment, I was only able to focus on Ben and the amazing future we are creating together."
