It all started in middle school, that's when AJ first caught Lauren's eye. Not because he was raising his hand in class to answer the teacher's question, but because he was talking over the teacher cracking hilarious jokes that made the entire class laugh. Little did Lauren know, the class comedian that distracted her from her straight-A studies would soon become her boyfriend come freshman year of high school. That old saying couldn't be more true - opposites really do attract. Lauren and AJ dated throughout high school, where most people knew them as the "couple on the morning announcements". From being co-anchors each morning to dates at the movies and going out to dinner, they were inseparable. College really put their love to the test when they decided to attend universities in different cities. Every three weeks, one of them would take the 4-hour drive to visit the other one (usually AJ drove to see Lauren because, let's face it, college life at FSU was more fun). After graduating from college, AJ and Lauren lived in Orlando for two years while Lauren lived out her dream job working in marketing for Disney Cruise Line. When it came time for AJ to make a big career move, they packed their bags, and their two Shih Tzus (Simba and Nala), for Philadelphia. It doesn't matter if they're sailing the ocean on a cruise or meandering down a grocery aisle, you can guarantee they're making each other laugh and having the best time. 13 years of dating, 2 states, 4 homes, and 2 dogs later, they couldn't have asked for a better love story.
