They both grew up in Minooka and met at their first jobs at Giordanos in 2016-2017. Tomas was a pizza cook and Lauren was a host. They never had a legit conversation together, it was always a simple "hi".

Fast forward to November 28, 2018... and thats where the story begins.

Tomas had sent Lauren a simple Happy Birthday text because he saw mutual friends posting about Lauren. Tomas decided to just send a message to be nice and from here they have not stopped talking a day since.

From constant trips to Florida, boat rides, purchasing their dog, Willow, and 3 cats (Jelly, Pixie, and Leo). They have created their own little family together and will now embark on spending the rest of their lives together.
