Our Wedding

August 10th of 2018 was the first time Sam and Lauren laid eyes on each other while celebrating their good friend Noah’s 21st birthday party. Lauren had been invited by her Matron of honor Jamie who is now married to Sam’s Best man Noah. When Sam first met Lauren he told his friend Eric, “I have to get to know her.” Through out the night Sam and Lauren talked casually. Once the night was over Sam asked Eric for Lauren’s information. After that night Sam added Lauren on snapchat, but initially Lauren didn’t add him back. Two weeks later she discovered Sam’s last name and added him back.  After several weeks of talking they went on their first date on September 21st of 2018. Multiple dates later on November 17th 2018 Sam brought Lauren hot chocolate while she was having a weekend long recruitment event for her sorority that read, “Wonna be mine?” After over 5 years of dating on May 18th 2024 Sam got down on one knee and asked Lauren to marry him at their favorite place to spend time together.
