They planned to go grab drinks at a Houston cocktail bar. Lauren, a whiskey lover, was impressed when she arrived and found Beau had ordered a whiskey cocktail. They talked for hours about everything - family, friends, hobbies, careers, and more. Wanting to continue the conversation they moved to a Houston favorite, Ninfa's, for some chips and salsa even though neither of them were hungry. After another hour or so of conversation, they decided to end the night at a local spot to play games - connect four, cornhole, basketball. Though Beau would never admit it, Lauren won the first game. After planning their next date, they parted ways and the rest is history. Updates: Beau is finally coming around to whiskey, despite his order on the first date. Chips and salsa are still our favorite snack. Playing games is still a favorite past time even though Beau always beats Lauren. However, Lauren really did win their first game against each other that first date.

One week prior to leaving Houston, Lauren was visiting her soon-to-be home with Beau in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Beau had planned a casual night out - a dinner date followed by time with friends. After dinner, there was a beautiful sunset so they decided to take a walk along Cane River. Once they reached the perfect spot, Beau got down on one knee and proposed. Neither of them remember what Beau said or whether Lauren actually said the word "Yes", but it didn't matter. They were ready to get married.
