Hi Everyone! Counting down the days to celebrate with all of you this September… it’ll be here before we know it! In the meantime, we wanted to share a little bit about our lengthy history and how we got to where we are today. By lengthy, we mean lengthy. We have known of each other since middle school and will have been together for over eight years by the time the wedding bells ring!

We were both lucky to have been born and raised in the elite NW suburb of Arlington (Action) Heights. However, the town almost wasn’t big enough for the both of us - we first knew of each other as rivals. Lauren was a Bulldog from the north side of the train tracks (St. James) while Danny was a south side Wildcat (Our Lady of the Wayside). Given mutual family/friend connections, we found ourselves running in similar crowds as early as 5th/6th grade - often times under the Friday night lights at our future high school’s (St. Viator) football games.
