Despite becoming friends on Facebook in October 2016, a year before we even met, we started talking after we matched on Tinder in October 2017. It was immediate connection! We liked the same sports teams, movies, and music. We hung out just a few days later and never stopped. Andrew asked me to be his girlfriend after we watched Thor: Ragnarok in theaters in November 2017 and the rest is history. We have grown together through love, life, and tragedy. We have been together since I was 19 and Andrew was 21! Andrew proposed in front of the Disneyland castle in August of 2023! I had no idea it was happening and it was the happiest moment! It was an amazing trip because of the proposal and Andrew seeing one of his favorite basketball players the next day. We can't wait to celebrate our wedding surrounded by those who love us and whom we love back! ~Lauren
