We met in ninth grade (2007) through our two best friends. We clicked instantly: Marc, with his over-sized hoodie and long hair and me with my Hot-Topic skinny jeans and (completely unnecessary) suspenders. We started dating during sophomore year and, through the years, matured into shorter hair and better fashion sense (thank goodness). Marc and I have always been there for each other; from writing notes to and from the ISS room at school, to helping each other try to dress fancy enough to go to a job interview, to trying to figure out how to fix household appliances in the middle of the night. I never thought I would be the girl that would dream about a wedding or marriage, but when we started dating, that all changed. Thank you for truly being my other half and completing me in the way that only a soulmate can. Over the years, we've been on countless dates, trips, and adventures, and I wouldn't trade those memories for anything in the world. This unforgettable decade has been full of love, laughter, and surprises and only makes me excited for what is to come. With love, Lauren
