LET'S "I DO" THIS THING

Lauryn and James began hanging out when a bunch of their friends started Lake Day Thursday, a weekly day out on Table Rock Lake. Once-a-week hang outs turned into all-the-time and they've been together ever since!

Lauryn is absolutely totally obsessed with flamingos and hippos, so when a baby hippo was born at the Memphis Zoo, she went nuts begging James to go visit. He finally relented, so she naturally dressed up in flamingo-printed shorts (to blend in with the locals) and off they went. When they got to the flamingos, there was a sign in their exhibit: Lauryn, will you marry me? Naturally, she started nervous laughing like a maniac as he got on one knee, but managed to get out a "YES!" and they were engaged.
