We are Getting Married!

Our story started on October 3, 2022. After a month of countless dates, long conversations, and walks around the Arboretum, Ben officially asked Lauren to be his girlfriend on October 30th. Over the last four years, we have grown together through every season of life. One of the most important parts of our relationship has been our shared faith journey. In 2024, Lauren entered the Catholic Church and received the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Eucharist. In 2025, Ben was confirmed in the Catholic Church, with Lauren serving as his sponsor. Throughout our relationship, we have encouraged one another to grow closer to Christ and build a life rooted in faith. Because of that journey, it feels especially meaningful that we will be married at Christ the King Cathedral, where Ben received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is a place that has played an important role in our faith and in our relationship. On October 3, 2026, exactly four years after we first started talking, we will exchange vows and begin our life as husband and wife. We are excited to start this new chapter, build a family together, and continue growing in faith side by side. Most of all, we are grateful to celebrate this day with the people we love. Your friendship, support, and prayers have helped shape our journey, and we are so thankful to share this special moment with you. L & B
