The story began at Raleigh Beer Garden in 2015....

At the time it was one of the hottest places around, so naturally it was perfect for our first date! We hit it off immediately and it was very clear that we had so much in common, starting with our love for craft beer! Unfortunately, both of us had big plans and the timing wasn't right, but that didn't stop us from staying in touch with each other over the years and catching up when we could!

I returned from travel nursing in April 2018. Although I knew I would miss New York City, I could hardly wait to get home and see Taylor. The day after I returned, we had our "second first date" at the Yard House in Raleigh. Sitting there over dinner it was like no time had passed, and we both knew that this was Gods perfect timing for us. We have been inseperatable ever since! Our relationship has been spent surviving CRNA school together, exploring Raleigh, raising our sweet doodle Finley, cheering on the NC State Wolfpack and spending time at the beach. We cannot wait for many more years of enjoying these things together (minus CRNA school-Lauren graduates in August 2021, yay!). We feel truly blessed to have each other to go through life with. November 6, 2021 can't get here soon enough!
