We met during our sophomore year at Hope College and have been inseparable ever since. From walks around town to adventures with friends and traveling to new places, we've loved growing together through every season of life. Matt works as financial consultant and Lauren is a special education teacher. This past winter, we added a new member to our little family—a sweet Beagle named Pharrell—who's brought even more joy and laughter to our lives. As we look ahead to the future, we're so excited to continue building our life together and can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
