Lauren and Steve met at some point in 1998. Steve grew up next door to Lauren’s cousins Ben and Molly. Steve, Ben and Joe (Steve’s brother) became the best of friends. The Garron family became part of Lauren’s family, celebrating holidays, birthdays and life milestones together. It wasn’t until May 28, 2016 that Steve finally gathered the courage to ask Lauren out on a date. Lauren was confused and thought it was a joke! Steve explained that he had liked her for over a decade. They’ve been making each other laugh and complimenting each other in the best way ever since.
