Our Wedding

Five years ago, we were two people who had mastered the art of finding something wrong with every date we went on. Nothing ever felt quite right—until it did. We found love in a hopeless place (also known as Bumble), and from the moment we met, we knew we shared something special. Our first date at Moore’s Tavern happened during a full-on blizzard, and despite the weather, neither of us wanted the night to end.

We quickly became inseparable. Devin introduced Lauren to his other pride and joy: his log cabin. It wasn’t just a log cabin straight off of HGTV—it became the place where we made it official, said “I love you” for the first time, and built the early chapters of our relationship.

People told us (always with care) we were moving too fast… and maybe we were. But it felt right, and we knew we were each other’s forever. After a year at the cabin, we moved to Lauren’s hometown, where Devin slowly (and surprisingly) became a shore guy. With the help of Devin’s dad, we renovated our dream home just off Bridge Avenue—a little road that ended up holding a lot of meaning.

Fast-forward two years, Devin proposed at Bridge Avenue beach—the place where the road meets the ocean, our special spot, and where our next chapter officially began. These days, we love where we live: in a beautiful home we designed together, with the light of our lives, our dog Remi, always close by.

We’ve always felt like we were made for each other. Our relationship is easy and full of laughter. We’re best friends first—and that’s what makes everything else feel effortless. Whether we’re taking on house projects, spending the day at Island Beach, or enjoying happy hour on our front porch, there’s no one else we’d rather do life with.

Now, nearly two years after getting engaged, the couple once told they were speeding through things is suddenly being asked, “Wait… what’s taking you so long?”

Well the wait is finally over—and we couldn’t be more excited to tie the knot (that’s basically been tied since our first date on February 19th, 2021) and celebrate with all our favorite people!
