Lauren and Brady's story started back in 2019. Lauren's cousin Alyssa invited Brady and his friends to come to Lauren's birthday party at their family lake house. Lauren wasn't very happy that Alyssa invited a bunch of random people, but it turned out to be the start to great friendships. Lauren and Brady became close friends. They played bar league volleyball together and continued hanging out as a group of friends. The summer of 2020, Brady came to volleyball with a new haircut. His hockey hair was gone and suddenly Lauren saw Brady differently. They talked all summer and he came and visited her in college throughout the fall. They started dating on December 26th, 2020. Brady proposed to Lauren on December 24th, 2022 in their newly built home (thanks to Lauren's Dad, brother and many family and friends). Brady and Lauren have gone on many adventures together and can't wait to start their next one as a married couple with their dog Gus.
