Marshall had only been in Hawaii a few months when he met Lauren, who returned home from teaching in Japan not too long ago. They first locked eyes over a bowl of ramen and ice cream for dessert. As they struck up a conversation, they discussed their travels and where they were excited to go. Soon, they would start having adventures together. Lauren and Marshall eventually both needed to move away from Hawaii. Lauren needed to go to Los Angeles for her pilot training and Marshall to New York to work closer to his parents. However, their love for each other continued to grow and they were filled with determination to return to Hawaii together. In 2023, the stars aligned and Lauren and Marshall both were able to move back to Hawaii, ready to pick up being with each other every day and continuing with their adventures. They are excited and filled with gratitude to stand before you soon, to exchange their vows, and to be together forever.
