Our Wedding

Eli and Lauren originally met working at The Fireside Dinner Theater in December 2021. Eli was Lauren's manager and after getting to know each other outside of work - they became friends! They both had feelings beyond friendship, but Lauren was unsure about whether she wanted to start a new relationship. However, Eli persisted and they began dating in August 2023. And the rest is history!
