Our Story- To be completely honest- I was the one chasing him for a-couple months before he gave me a shot. Being the big football lover I am, I was at a NWC Football Game and my eye kept tracing back to #28. I decided to go look him up on instagram and it seemed to be that we both already followed each other AND had each other on snapchat. So, I figured- what do I have to lose? I sent him a snapchat & we have talked everyday since. -Lauren

Lauren: From the beginning, I knew there was something different about this guy. He was a smart, noble, funny, handsome, God-loving, & humble young man. I do not remember an exact day of when I fell in love with Sean but I do remember telling my mom, "I am going to marry Sean Powell someday" during our many phone calls during the weeks. Growing up, I prayed to God about my future husband- wondering what his qualities would be and I remember asking for a future husband who loves me for me, keeps me accountable, pushes me to be the best 'me' I can be, and one who pushes so hard to reach his goals. Ladies & Gents, God exceeded my expectations by a long shot- I am truly the luckiest girl in the world.

This day was like any other day- little did I know. Sean & I had been hanging out all day- we worked out, ate lunch, played some Mario Cart, and then I headed out to work my shift at Stoney Brook Suites where I left my mom and Sean to sadly wait for my return. When I returned from work, Sean and my mom were sitting on the couch like every other time I got home from work. I jumped in the shower and when I came out of the bathroom, my mom was gone and Sean decided to get all fancied up in nice clothes... hmmm, wonder what's going on?? Sean led me downstairs as I could already hear our favorite movie, Beauty and The Beast, music play. At the bottom of the stairs, his dad, Mike, handed me a laminated 'movie ticket' that Sean created. He led me down a pathway of lights as you would see in a movie theater to a beautifully set up table with my favorite yellow roses, popcorn, a beautiful sign made by his Uncle, and more. Sean made a video of all of our pictures from the beginning until now which was playing in the background. On top of all this, he had some of our family members on a zoom call in the background so they could witness it all with us- yay Corona virus!! Sean got on one knee, shared some sweet words along with the most important one's of all, "will you marry me?" The rest was history <3

June 19, 2021 is the big day! We will stand up in front of our loved ones and the Almighty One to share our vows and become one. We look forward to sharing this day with you all & are so excited to begin this new chapter in our lives together!
