lauren & paul have been in each other's lives since 2011 - going on 13 years together! they met through a mutual friend (shout out to maid-of-honor katie) while lauren and katie worked together, and paul would come into the store on occasion. (let the record reflect that the first time they noticed each other, lauren was dressed as waldo from "where's waldo" in a halloween costume) they ended up chatting for a little bit before deciding to hang out, and the rest is history. from their first time living together in 2015, purchasing their first home in 2017, and the birth of their son milo in 2019...life has never slowed down or stopped giving both incredible blessings and some wicked curve balls. but through it all, lauren and paul stuck together and built their life together. paul proposed on march 1, 2024 much to lauren's absolute and complete shock, in front of her closest friends and family. amid the 'congratulations' and the 'we can't wait!' from loved ones, one thing rings true - it's about damn time! to quote milo, "mom is going to be a saldivar...forever?!" yep - #SaldivarForever 🖤 we are so very excited to celebrate this next big moment with all of you!
