Our Wedding

Steven and Lauren both attended Penn State University and met in an Invertebrate Zoology class. Lauren attempted to form a study group for the class (what a nerd), but turns out only Steve showed up (with none of the study guide done of course). After a couple hours of talking about lacrosse, soccer, ACL tears, and both growing up in West Chester, PA -not much studying occured- but a friendship began. We quickly became "study-buddies" with frequent meet-ups at Dunkin at 6am to study for upcoming tests. Having so much in common, outside of attending the same school, made it seem like they had known each other for years. Steve and Lauren both graduated with degrees in Biology from Penn State in 2013. They then moved from Pennsylvania to Dallas, Texas soon after graduating (a difficult one for Steve-a die hard Eagles fan). Now in Texas, they have a dog named Cason who they rescued, and live in Frisco. They both continue to be involved in growing the game of lacrosse-something they are very passionate about. After 4 1/2 years of dating, Steve FINALLY popped the question at, where else? Penn State! Lauren and her family went up to Penn State for her sister Megan's Sorority function and Steve used that as an opportunity to go up as well. While at the Lion Shrine taking pictures, Lauren did not make it easy for Steve to pop the question, climbing all over the lion to pose and then rushing to get the pictures taken. With a huge line of Penn Staters waiting to get their picture taken, Steve finally got Lauren off the lion and dropped to one knee .His family came out from behind the trees to celebrate when she said yes! It was truly the perfect proposal and biggest surprise of Lauren's life.Both Lauren and Steve are extremely excited to start this new chapter of their life together and can't wait to celebrate with all of their family in one place!WE ARE...GETTING MARRIED!#HappilyEverAtz
