Lauren and Will met on Bumble. Will's profile boasted that he knew the difference between "there," "their," and "they're," which provided Lauren, an English teacher at the time, an easy opening. They met a few days later at Liberty Tavern in Arlington, VA on March 4, 2017, and followed that date up with two more that same week. Will proposed on November 26, 2018 while they were putting up their first Christmas tree. They can't wait to begin life as Mr. and Mrs. Hantzes this December.
