We met on a class field trip at the end of our sophomore year of high school. Summer break was right around the corner, and we both were excited to go to Lake Compounce and ride some rides with our friends while roaming free from teachers and classroom rules. Our friend groups just happened to meet up during the day, and we somehow began chatting together while waiting in line for a ride. We rode our first ride together, and before hopping on, Mike asked Lauren what her favorite color was. We got off the ride minutes later, and did not spend another minute of the field trip apart from each other until it was time to return home. As we exchanged numbers quickly before returning to our school busses, neither of us could wipe the smile off our faces. Mike returned home from the trip to tell Gail, "Mom, I like this girl. Her name is Lauren Polzella" while at the same time Lauren was jumping around the kitchen island telling Lynn, "Mom, I reaalllyyy like Mike Audibert." June 6th, 2013 was the beginning of our ultimate love story. From high school football games and being Homecoming King and Queen, long-distance in college days and a whole lot of trips back and forth to see each other; to graduating college and eventually moving in together, we have been by each other’s sides since that day. And on the day Mike proposed, he acknowledged how all those years ago, he could have never imagined one ride at Lake Compounce, could lead us to each other. We are so overjoyed to be getting married and to share this experience with the ones we love the most. We hope you will join us on our special day.
