It was an August night in 2011... Dominik sobbing as he is asking Lauren why they can't date!? Lauren explains he is leaving in 10 days, and she does not date college boys. Dominik professes his love, begging for a shot! Lauren, wondering if this terribly dressed, forgetful guy deserved taking a chance on... but alas! she gave in and gave him a shot! They had been together all summer, running around Zionsville, IN - where they both went to high school. It progressed to Bloomington, IN - where they both attended university. Then onto Chicago, IL - where they both got their first big-time jobs. Finally to Seattle, WA - where they both live now with their first furbaby, Kora. In between each of those adventures, Lauren taught Dominik how to dress, do his hair, keep a planner, use his emotions... well she taught him a lot of things. Dominik fell deeper in love. Like all modern love stories there were a few speed bumps, but they always knew they had each other. That either would do anything to see the other happy. They couldn't imagine going days without each other. Dominik spent the better part of the year putting a proposal together in the snowy mountains of Washington. On December 31st, 2020, Lauren said "YES" to whatever Dominik was running on about... Together they've met amazing friends, earned degrees, conquered cities, closed down bars, waited in music festival bathroom lines, survived distance, traveled, moved across the country, raised a crazy dog, summited mountains, eaten their weight in oysters, fought off killer bees, and made so many great memories. Cheers to adding to the memories on our big day!
