Drew and Lauren matched online in May of 2021 as the global pandemic restrictions started to let up. Drew was currently on a trip to Disney World and Lauren was at the Jersey shore during the most miserable weather memorial weekend had seen. They quickly started to connect as Lauren sent Drew the world's longest text messages and then they decided to meet on June 12th of 2021. They realized quickly that they grew up 15 minutes away from each other but matched online in completely different areas. They figured they probably met before in life which was crazy to think about. From there they would hang out in Philly and bonded over many TV shows and movies. Then Lauren started going to more sports games and Drew went to his first broadway show. They like to hang out with friends and family, go on weekend trips, and spend time in Conshy where they have been for the past 3 years. Lauren and Drew are very excited to have now bought a house in Collegeville and are so excited to get married and celebrate with everyone in September of 2026!

In June of 2025 Drew asked Lauren to go on a picnic to celebrate their anniversary of meeting early. He suggested to go to Valley Forge where Lauren and Drew spent time together before as Lauren works nearby the park. There was a drizzle that day and so Lauren knew something was up because he still wanted to sit outside and eat in the rain lol. Lauren and Drew do the Wordle and Connections every day as a competition and Drew created a custom connections board. On it were places they been together, important dates, and the important question. After they celebrated with friends and family. And then they went to dinner at "Lark" rooftop restaurant where a double rainbow appeared in the sky to end the night.
