We met the old-fashioned way - on the Bumble app. During our first date, we were so engrossed in conversation that we never got around to ordering dinner. We spent the first part of our relationship in the world's easiest long distance relationship (Lauren in Cincinnati and Luke across the river in Northern Kentucky). In October 2019, Luke proposed at our shared apartment over a batch of particularly delicious sloppy joes! After spending most of 2020 in quarantine like the rest of the world, we opted to prolong our engagement by a few months in hopes of welcoming as many of our friends and family as possible to our wedding in Fall 2021.
