Our Story
Declan and Lauren met in late 2019 and had their first date at Disney's Magic Kingdom. Before the date, Lauren insisted she would beat Declan at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. He was skeptical until he saw Lauren get out of her car and walk towards the tram in a Buzz Lightyear t-shirt...and it was then that he knew she was the one.
Lauren kept her promise and not only beat him, but embarrassed Declan on the ride. They shared their first kiss on the ferry boat back to the parking lot. A few more Disney dates followed prior to the COVID shutdown, but they didn't let the pandemic stop them.
Declan moved back to Jacksonville and Lauren back to Lakeland, but the two stayed in constant contact. A few months later, Declan moved back to Orlando and their love story continued.
They quickly became best friends and were inseparable. They saw each other every chance they had and each quickly became a part of each other's families. They are so excited for the life of love ahead of them.
