Lauren and Ben met on a snowy February night in 2021 when they both swiped right. They knew there was a connection a few days later on their first date at Katie's Pizza & Pasta. After that, they quickly fell in love while enjoying all the things they both love to do - country concerts, sporting events, trying new bars/restaurants, and hanging at home with friends and family. After a couple years, they moved in together into Ben's house in O'Fallon with their 2 labs, Duke and Maisie. They knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and Ben proposed on March 20, 2024 in Rosemary Beach, FL. A few weeks later, Ben and Lauren had the most special (and shocking!) surprise when they found out Lauren was pregnant with their little miracle, Charlie Mae. Charlie was born on October 24, 2024 and can't wait to be a part of Mom and Dad's wedding day!
