We met through our mutual friend, Matt Kolongowski, and after a few years of Marcos sliding into Lauren’s DMs, he finally asked her out for bagels after church. In just three weeks, we got to know each other better before Lauren left for Europe for five weeks, and even with the inconvenient timing, we knew this was something special. After meeting each other’s families and friends, we felt such peace about our relationship. We’re so thankful for our family, friends, and church community who have poured into us and encouraged us every step of the way. God has been so faithful, and we couldn’t be more excited to get married and start our life together surrounded by the people we love. We ask that you keep us in your prayers and that we would always stay sensitive to the Lord’s guidance and purpose for our lives.
