Our Wedding

Joe and Lauren, like all kids these days, found each other on the internet on an app called bumble. Over the course of 5 years we have moved into two houses and have been happy together with our two dogs, Billy and Bluey. Joe is a smarty-pants engineer and Lauren is venturing into health sciences and loves coaching lacrosse. Our engagement was a magical thing and happened in Florida at Universal Studios. Joe planned the whole thing and got down at one knee at a photo shoot in Dagon Alley. Taken by surprise, Lauren said yes!
