James and Laura officially met at their friends Jake and Sarah Wright's wedding. BUT if you ask James, they really met about a year before that. But either way, they weren't exactly on the same page at first. While Laura was still thinking it wasn't going anywhere serious, James pretty much asked Laura to marry him in his very first text message. So while it started off a bit slow, it was a trip to Florida in April that changed everything. After a stay in a hotel well above their pay grade, and a 4 hour drive to Key West... those 3 important words were spoken. James bought a ring in May, but then tortured his family for 5 months before popping the question. A surprise birthday party for James turned into a surprise engagement for Laura. We are so excited to get back down to the Keys and celebrate with those we love most. We can't think of a better way to start our life together :) **James Edit : "You didn't put the part where you denied me at first and said I was too young. And I told you to give me one chance. Gotta make sure everyone knows how hard you tried to deny me but you couldn't resist that Schergen charm. Me lookin' good, saying all the right things, winning you over."
