Where It All Started

Same Place. New Chapter. Green Street.

Some places don’t just exist on a map—they become part of your story. For us, that place is Green Street. It’s where we met one sunny afternoon at Parlor Pizza, when Sam showed up on his bicycle and what was meant to be a simple first date turned into something neither of us expected. It’s where we first lived together, where Lloyd made himself at home, and where so many of our everyday moments quietly became the foundation of our life together. And now, it’s where we’ll get married. Green Street has been there through it all—the beginning, the in-between, and now this moment. It holds so many memories for us, and it feels only right to celebrate this next chapter here, surrounded by the people we love most. We are so grateful to share this place, and this moment, with you. With love, Lauren & Sam
