Tull Gearreald & Beverly Cope's Wedding

Tull grew up in Alabama with his parents, Tull and Nely Gearreald. For most of his early life, he spent his time alone reading, playing games, or working on mad scientist experiments with his computers. When he was in middle school, he decided that he wanted to go to MIT, and spent the next several years crafting an application for it, which included a job at a hospital, and many volunteer hours with his church. When he was finally ready to apply, he sent in his application, and his work was rewarded with an acceptance. The following autumn, he headed off to MIT for the next chapter of his life.

Beverly grew up in Africa, with her younger sister and loving parents, Bev and Pam Cope. At the tender age of 13, she decided to leave the comforts of home and hearth to head to boarding school in Kenya. While there, the time came for her to start thinking about university, which she discussed with her parents and guidance counsellor. Upon his advice, she applied to MIT and got in. After much prayer and soul searching with the aid of her parents, she decided to head to MIT for her education.

Tull arrived at MIT a year ahead of Beverly, and joined the Baptist Student Fellowship. The following year, Beverly arrived, and joined the same group. Tull didn't notice her for the next two years, until they both became officers of the group, and began interacting regularly. Through the time they spent together, they grew closer, and started dating in Tull's senior year. After Beverly graduated the following year, they both moved to Chicago where Beverly was starting medical school. Following a six month trip to India, Tull proposed before their third anniversary, and they look forward to seeing you in April.
