It's all (finally) happening!

After knowing each other in passing for a couple of years, one random night turned into the beginning of the rest of their lives. One June 11, 2010 the simple Facebook post was made asking "who wants to Skype me?" after Lauren purchased a new laptop with a webcam (oooh fancy!). They Skyped for hours and it became a regular thing for the two of them to look forward to each day. Soon after (but not soon enough in Lauren's eyes) they decided to give dating a shot and became exclusive on September 18, 2010. Maintaining a long distance relationship was tough (Robert living in IN and Lauren living two and a half hours away in IL). Very early on, the two of them recognized that they had something rare and special between them and were excited to see what the future held. The December of 2010 marked the couple taking their relationship to the next level and moving in together to find out. A deep love developed between them as they learned more and more about each other. In July of 2012, Robert and Lauren made the big move to FL to join Lauren's mother in the sunshine state and to get a fresh start. Later that year, in December, Robert decided it was time to take the plunge so he popped the question and of course Lauren said "yes!" and the rest is history!

The evening of December 12, 2012 was a regular one, or so Lauren thought. While lounging around on the couch, enjoying a quiet evening at home, she noticed Bobby acting weird. He left the room and suddenly, one by one, in marched each of their pups wearing little custom t-shirts that when arranged read "will you marry me!" After a stunned Lauren finally tore her eyes away from the adorable message, she noticed Bobby on "bended knee". She stuck out her hand and screamed "YES!" as he slid the ring on confidently. It was one of the best days of their lives that would change things forever!
