After being apart 6 years. . . Lauren was involved in an accident which led to her having to walk by Patrick’s new office at work. Having not seen each other in a long time , they had a conversation which led to Patrick asking Lauren to dinner , which she declined . After much persistence (texting Lauren at 11:11 everyday), she caved . They went on their first date..at the end Lauren asked Patrick what his intentions were and he said “to marry you” . On 11/11/22 Patrick proposed . And in our favorite month, our favorite season , in our favorite town we will be getting married surrounded by friends & family.
