Dan first arrived and started working in Chicago in October of 2014. Lauren remembers that distinctly because she was sitting in her normal Tuesday morning team meeting when a strange, new British man sat next to her. When he introduced himself, the first thing she thought was, "Oh boy, we're in trouble." (That actually happened). We began working together, which was both great and infuriating. Great, because it meant we didn't need an excuse to chat every day - Dan even found ways to visit Lauren's desk just to chat with her. And it was infuriating for obvious reasons. After a couple of years, it became apparent we would no longer be working on the same team together. With that, Dan made serious efforts to get Lauren's attention. So much so, he wouldn't stop bugging her while she was on her birthday trip in Vegas. Let us tell you, Lauren took the hint. So when she got back, he immediately set up a date. We were to go get a few drinks on a Monday after work. Easy, right? Well, when Lauren texted Dan that day asking what the plan was, he insisted that he left the office ahead of time, "So nobody is suspicious," leaving Lauren to walk to the bar alone...Despite this, Lauren had a great time. She even spooked him by saying a coworker was in the bar, which still makes her laugh to this day. After 5 years of more laughs and adventures, last year we decided to make it forever when Daniel proposed at our favorite restaurant in Chicago. With that, we can't wait to celebrate the next chapter of our lives together with you!
