Emily and Lauren's love story began on the dating app Hinge, as many modern romances do. After getting acquainted through texting for a few weeks, they decided to meet in person. Emily suggested Spirited Republic, where they bonded over craft beer, pizza, ice cream, and endless laughter, chatting until the wee hours of the morning, even on a school night. On March 29, 2021, Emily officially asked Lauren to be her girlfriend, marking the beginning of their journey together. Since then, they've explored different states, attended many baseball games, and navigated life's twists and turns as a team.

Their story took a significant turn on July 9, 2022, when Emily and Lauren bought a house together, signaling a new chapter in their lives. Then, on August 1, 2022, Lauren proposed to Emily at a breathtaking overlook of the Golden Gate Bridge in California. Normally this view is somewhat obstructed by fog. However, on that special day, the scene was picture-perfect, adding to the magic of the moment.

In turn, on August 29th, 2022, Emily surprised Lauren with a proposal of her own. Despite stormy weather during their journey to Wrigley Field, the clouds cleared upon their arrival, setting the stage for Emily's proposal on the big screen at Lauren's favorite baseball park.

Now, as they look forward to their wedding day, Emily and Lauren eagerly anticipate celebrating with their loved ones, cherishing the memories they've created and the adventures that lie ahead.
