A short time ago in a galaxy very, very nearby, Lauren was spending her days as a veterinarian caring for Ewoks and Wookies while Nate was working at a nearby AT&T Empire outpost. Lauren and Nate each decided they were Fett up with being Solo, so they decided to join the Dark Side (online dating) by creating dating profiles on E-Harmony. After going on dates with Alderaan guys, Lauren took aim at a certain Scoundrel's DMs (and thankfully, she has better aim than a stormtrooper). After a few days of messaging, they could both tell "the force is strong with this one." Nate invited Lauren to a local Cantina (Gloria's Mexican Restaurant) and a rebel alliance was born. The next year flew by in a parsec with adventures hiking, sailing, and even climbing a sand dune (it's a trap). Soon Nate had decided that together they could rule the galaxy forever. On May 4, 2023, he popped the question; when Nate said I love you, Lauren said I know and the rest was history. Nate could now say "Lauren, I am your fiancé." Our New Hope is that our friends and family will be able to join us as we say "I do" on May 4, 2024 as we begin the next episode of our love story.
