Yes... we eloped! On October 10, 2019, we tied the knot just the two of us shortly after Jon moved to The States so we could be together. Now in 2020, we wanted to take the time to renew our vows as it should be - absolutely magical filled with fairie dust, rolling hills, and lots of love in Ireland just the two of us. Now its time to celebrate properly with family, friends and loved ones!

Nothing about Jon and Lauren's relationship has ever been "traditional". With that in mind, buying a ring from a jeweler isn't what they wanted to do. Jon and Lauren had a unique opportunity to hand make their wedding bands in Edinburgh, Scotland during a visit in the summer of 2019 with local artisian, Donna Barry. These rings are quite literally "made with their love."

Shortly after celebrating their anniversary, Jon asked Lauren to hike his favorite trail with him to experience his favourite view. As they trekked to the top, something with Jon seemed off... he was much more quiet than usual and seemed nervous... but why? She asked, and he responded he was worried about the clouds. (The clouds?!) When they got to the tippy top, the clouds moved away, the sun shined on the peaks and valleys in view and almost instantly, all other hikers disappeared. It was then, he got down on one knee and asked the most important question. She cried of happiness and was so overwhelmed, she forgot to say the actual "yes!" for two more hours!
