Lauren and Christopher’s love story began, where else, a soccer field. They first crossed paths during their brother’s competitive soccer match. Introduced through their mother’s matchmaking skills, a love connection quickly began to flourish. Their first date, a spontaneous trip home from college by Lauren, took place over some butter (no)pecan ice cream at the local Dairy Shed. It wasn’t long before many road trips back and forth from Akron to Circleville and many hiking trips later, their whirlwind romance unfolded. Christopher proposed to Lauren a few months after her college graduation by taking her to one of their favorite area hiking spot where he got down on one knee and asked for her forever. Needless to say, Lauren said yes!! (and all was captured by three photographers!). Now, after more than 2 1/2 years worth of many memories later, they can’t wait to tie the knot and start their happily ever after!
