Shout out to our friend Mel who introduced us at a "Friendsgiving" party! We flirted a bit and somewhat kept in contact, but things didn't take off at that point. A little less than a year later we saw each again as our friend groups collided and we all went floating down the American River. In the days following floating, we spent about 2 weeks straight together in San Jose watching movies, laying under the stars, stuffing our faces with good food and laughing till we cried. Fast forward 3 years to February 2019 to a snow filled hike on a beautiful day in Yosemite, where Stefan finally decided to pop the question and Lauren said yes (obviously). And now, instead of meeting at Friendsgiving parties, we host them annually at our place in Fresno! We are so happy to get to share our story with all our loved ones at our wedding!
