Lauren and Brad went to Loyola University Chicago School of Law together. However, they did not meet each other in law school. They sat a few seats away from each other at law school graduation without knowing that their future spouse was experiencing that moment with them.

They met for the first time in 2016 at a Loyola alumni event, and started dating shortly thereafter. Since then, they have grown as a couple and in their careers while living in Chicago. Their favorite date night activities are attending a concert or trying a new restaurant.

On April 17, 2021, they went hiking at Starved Rock. Brad got down on one knee and asked Lauren to marry him - - although, he almost gave it away by telling Lauren that they were going hiking "rain or shine". Then, he surprised her again by having her parents, brother, and soon to be sister-in-law come all the way from Michigan to celebrate!

They cannot wait to celebrate with everyone on October 1, 2022!
