Our story started with a Hinge match—but little did we know, we were already attending the same church at the same time every Sunday! After nearly two and a half weeks of anticipation, Kendall finally got to meet Lauren in person. Our first date was at Jammin Java during the Fayetteville Farmer’s Market, where conversation flowed effortlessly and connection came naturally. That day marked the beginning of something truly special.

Since then, we’ve filled our days with adventure, laughter, and a shared love for biking, skiing, and traveling the world together. Whether we’re exploring a new trail or enjoying a cozy night in, we’ve built a relationship full of joy, respect, and a deep sense of home in one another.

After 10 wonderful months of dating, Kendall asked Lauren to marry him in the most meaningful place—her back patio, in the exact spot where he had asked her to be his girlfriend. It was simple, sweet, and perfect—just like the love we share.

We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you! Thank you for being part of our journey—we’re so excited to have you with us on our big day.
