Evan and Lauren first met in the sixth grade when they were seated next to each other in English class. After Evan passed a note to Lauren with his phone number, the two quickly became friends. They dated on and off through middle school and high school, but stayed close friends through everything. Evan and Lauren went their separate ways in college while keeping in touch every once in a while. Their senior year they reconnected and realized that spark they felt as kids was still there and stronger than ever. They decided to make it official and see where this new love would take them. After twelve years of being best friends and two years together in a relationship, Evan decided to ask Lauren the big question. On December 18th, 2021 in Downtown Baltimore, Evan got down on one knee in front of close friends to ask Lauren to marry him. It was an easy yes for Lauren and she was completely shocked and surprised. The two are currently living together in Salisbury, Maryland with their dog, cat and bunny and looking forward to their forever together.
