Nick and Lauren first met bonding over the Barbie Dolls that decorated the walls of Freddy's Beach Bar in Arlington, VA during a brunch filled with mimosas and bacon. The rest of the day was filled with games of Uno, laughing with friends and ended with watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas on an early November day. The rest was history. However, I can't tell the story of how Nick and Lauren met without mentioning Hannah Tickle, Nick's stepsister and Lauren's roommate at the time, but more notably their matchmaker!
