It all started in the hallways of Kellenberg 10 years ago. Chris spotted Lauren walking into music class, and it was love at first sight (for Chris at least). Chris being his bubbly, friendly-self, introduced himself to Lauren. And every single time he saw her, he greeted her with a smile and an excited hello. And, if you know Lauren, you know she was skeptical of this friendliness. She was wondering, "Why is he SO nice?" And if you know Chris, you know this is genuinely how he is - probably the nicest person you will ever meet. After being friends for a while, Chris and Lauren started dating going into their senior year of high school. While Lauren likes to think she was Chris' first love, let's be honest his first love was his Mercedes. After dating throughout the rest of high school and into college, they realized they were soulmates. Through ups and downs, they always came back to each other and knew no matter what, they were always there for one another. Life just didn't make sense if they weren't together. They were meant to be. On August 27, 2023, Chris proposed to Lauren in the Dolomite mountains in Italy. It was a magical evening, and trip, that Chris planned. Now, we look forward to celebrating our story and our future chapters with all of you on December 5! See you at the altar!
