Lauren and Riley both happened to be in London of January of 2019. They also both happened to be on tinder and matched! From there they became friends through social media and chatted for about a year. Lauren was in New York and Riley was in New Hampshire, making it difficult to meet in person. When COVID hit in 2020 and the world was shut down, Lauren drove to New Hampshire, and the rest is history. They moved into their first real home in September of 2022. They got their first doggy Winnie in May of 2024 and their second doggy Heely in March of 2025. In April of 2025 they got engaged in the Outer Banks with their families and close friends there to celebrate.
