During the Summer of 2015, Lauren and Anthony met on Instagram. At that time, Lauren just graduated from college in Raleigh, NC and was moving back home to Virginia Beach, VA. Anthony came across Lauren’s profile and commented on a picture, inquiring about the area of Virginia in which she was located. Lauren decided to take a leap of faith and direct messaged (DM) Anthony. From that DM, Lauren and Anthony were inseparable. Christmas morning in 2019 while opening gifts with their children, Anthony got on one knee and asked Lauren to marry him! It was an instant YES!! Lauren and Anthony recently tied the knot on June 25, 2021 and are now ready to show their close family and friends the love they share with a traditional ceremony.
