Brandon and Lauren met in Pre-K and grew up playing soccer and going to school together. They became close friends when they were in the same homeroom class in 5th grade. Both Brandon and Lauren had a crush on each other, and even dated for a day, but inevitably broke up because Lauren wasn't allowed to date. However, they remained friends throughout middle school, junior high, and high school until they finally dove into a romantic relationship during their junior year of high school. They realized not only were they great friends, they were even better as lovers. Over their 6 years together, Brandon and Lauren have experienced high school graduation, 4 years of long-distance while attending colleges 3 hours apart, adopting their first dog, Honey, college graduations, starting new jobs, and buying their first home together. Through all of these life changes, their relationship has only grown stronger. Shortly after celebrating their 6 year anniversary, Brandon got down on one knee and asked Lauren to be his wife - she couldn't say yes fast enough.
