They met freshman year of college at Bentley University when they took IT101 in the same class. Justin noticed Lauren right away and never forgot her. Their paths did not cross again until their junior year of college when Justin's roommates wanted to help set him up with someone and asked if he was interested in anyone. Still remembering Lauren from freshman year, he mentioned her - which was perfect because his roommate was actually one of Lauren's friends. He invited Lauren over one night to hang out, and they hit it off immediately, relating about their love for Italy, passion for hockey, and having the same type of dog - a morkie - and the rest is history!
