It all goes back to San Luis Obispo. We had run into each other a few times over the years at Cal Poly, but the timing was never right. Finally, one fateful Pint Night in February 2014, we shared smiles from across the bar at Frog and Beach. By the next morning, Mark messaged Lauren on Facebook. Out first date was at the drive-in where we watched a horrible movie and Mark ate all the candy. (Some things never change.) Then, on March 19th, we very illegally hiked to the top of Bishop's Peak after dark. While we sat at the top listening to Nora Jones, Mark said "well I kinda already think of you as my girlfriend" and that was that. Eight years later, we've changed jobs, changed careers, changed houses, changed states (then changed back), and welcomed a fur baby to the family aptly named Bishop. Now, we are ecstatic to officially become family on September 4th and are thrilled you will all be there to join us in celebrating our marriage!
