Ryan and Lauren are high school sweethearts! They met for the first time in the summer of 2012 shortly after the Lococo family moved to town. It wasn't until the beginning of the 2013 school year that they actually began to pursue one another. Ryan was "on the hunt" for a homecoming date and his friend, Mikey, shared Lauren's phone number with him one day on the golf course. On the first day of school, Ryan was surprised to learn that Lauren was in his same algebra class! This turned out to be the perfect opportunity for him to impress the pretty girl with his class clown antics. Luckily for him, drawing imaginary hearts and shooting fake "love arrows" across the classroom at her like Cupid worked like a charm! After they went to homecoming together, Lauren was quickly swept up in the adventure of dating the "new kid" and fell in love with his incredibly good looks, sense of humor (mostly stupid jokes) and quirky nicknames! She was also surprised to learn that he had a charming side and would hold the door for her when she entered a room and would even buy her lunch & ice cream with his hard earned allowance. As you all know, Lauren loves being treated like the princess that she is! Just like every good love story, they have endured many seasons of trials and triumphs during their almost 9 years as a couple. However, they share an incredible friendship and faith that always seems to carry them through whatever season they are in. They have always been able to find comfort in one another and are so excited to embark on the next chapter in their love story! September 10th, 2022 is only the beginning for RyLo & they are thrilled to unite their lives in front of God and all of you!
