After about a year of working with Jack’s sister, Ellen, she casually mentioned that she had a brother she thought would be a great match for Lauren. She even floated the idea of a blind date, but Jack wasn’t exactly thrilled about meeting a “random woman,” so it never happened. No hard feelings! A few months later, fate (and Bumble) stepped in. Lauren came across Jack (yes, that Jack). We matched, started chatting, and quickly realized we had a lot in common. Before long, we agreed to meet for our first date at Bakersfield, one of our favorite taco spots. We ordered tacos, and Lauren recommended the short rib taco (which Jack passed on). But when Jack asked for a bite of hers (clearly jealous) Lauren actually said yes. And for the record, Lauren does not share food… especially not on a first date. That’s when she knew this might be serious. The rest is history.
