We met in college in our Japanese 101 class in the Fall semester of 2014, we often got paired up for class work. Often times Lauren would fall asleep during class work and Chase was none the wiser. We bonded over music and our love for animation like the Animaniacs. Even though we didn't start officially dating until 2021, we have been best buddies since. In times of great joy, broken knees, exciting travel experiences, and hardships transitioning to independent adulthood, we were supportive of each other through it all. Finally during the spring of 2025 (and encouragement from Grandma Galindo) we tied the knot! So come celebrate not only our union but our friendship that has grown over the years and the years to come!
