Phil and Lauren met on their first day of freshman year in Biology class. The teacher asked a question, and Phil was quick to answer correctly. Lauren, sitting one seat in front of Phil, immediately turned around and said, "How did you know that?! What a nerd!" It was clearly love at first sight! Throughout high school, Phil and Lauren shared several classes together, so they would often help each other out with homework. Given Phil was notorious for falling asleep in class, he would often message Lauren for the answers to the homework questions. And when Phil was not sleeping, our English and Math teachers had to remind the two to stop "flirting" in class. Separately, Phil even helped Lauren get a job with him at Uproot Restaurant. Although the two never dated in high school, it was obvious they had a natural connection. Lauren and Phil went their separate ways for college, attending schools in different states, but that wasn't enough to keep them apart! They reconnected during the summer of sophomore year in college when Phil worked up the courage to ask Lauren on an official date. The rest is history! Since then, we have made so many memories with our friends and family throughout NJ, NYC, Texas, Rhode Island, London, France, Italy and so many more! We are so grateful to celebrate our love with all of you and can't wait to make more memories together on our special day! LET'S HAVE A WEDDING!!
