Lauren and Jacob met on a dating app. On August 17th, 2019, they went on their first date, a Valerie June concert at the Aladdin Theater in Southeast Portland, Oregon.

On August 17th, 2024, five years and many concerts after they first met, Jacob and Lauren married in an intimate ceremony in Oregon City, Oregon. Later in the day, they went to a concert by one of their favorite artists, Waxahatchee, in a nod to their first date.

In October 2024, Lauren and Jacob went on their honeymoon to Ireland and Italy. Some highlights included Jacob driving in Ireland, whiskey tasting in Galway, excellent charcuterie and pizza in Milan, and seeing the Roman Forum in Rome.

Today Jacob and Lauren live in the Brentwood-Darlington neighborhood in Southeast Portland, Oregon, where they enjoy doing bar trivia, going to live music, playing board games, and walking with their dog Porter.
