As Laura was swiping on Hinge, she came across a very good looking and cute....dog! Her name was Ali and she had a human with her that was okay, but Ali was worth clicking the heart button. She got a match! His name was Irvin, and he was always busy for some reason. After months of being pen pals, Laura finally told Irvin that if they were going to meet that they had to meet the weekend she was coming home from Lake Arrowhead. They finally met in person and their first date was at a brewery in Tustin. Irvin was so nervous, he spilled a beer all over the place. Laura also had a dog, Koda. Koda and Ali met in a park and immediately fell in love, despite Ali's history of not liking most dogs. Weeks went by, and Irvin was always introduced by Laura as her "friend" which annoyed him. After a halloween party, Laura finally asked Irvin to be her boyfriend! Yes, she asked him and of course he said yes. After 3 years together, they took a trip to Colorado to see Tyler Childers at Red Rock Amphitheater. They found themselves in the Rocky Mountains on the same trip, all part of Irvin's plan to propose. After hours of trying to find the perfect spot, the perfect lake and view appeared. Irvin had a premier spot at the lake to propose, and asked Laura if she wanted to hike to that spot, she said "no I'm okay" and kept walking. He finally convinced her to go on an isolated trail and he found the perfect moment to pull the ring out and get on his knee. Laura freaked out, Irvin almost threw up, but she said YES and here we are today.
