In the thick of 2020 when people were just starting to leave their homes again Lauren took a trip to Alabama to take care of her families apartment. It was there that she matched with Grant on a dating app. Lauren and Grant messaged back and forth for a few weeks getting to know one another before Lauren drove back to Alabama to go on a date with Grant. Since that first date in July of 2020 the two have been inseparable. For two years Grant and Lauren dated long distance, traveling to see each other when they could and spending holidays together. During the summer of 2022 Lauren decided to take a leap of faith and move from Oklahoma (Go Pokes) to Alabama so that she and Grant could live in the same city for the first time in their relationship. For the next three years Grant and Lauren grew their relationship and got engaged in February of 2025 in the same spot where they had their first date - Big Spring Park. We are so happy you are here to celebrate with us, we would not be where we are today without the love and support of our family and friends! Now lets PARTY!!
