Our commitment to most important decision of our lives was sinking in, seconds after Lauren said "yes" and we kissed for the first time

Egads! After picking Lauren up from the airport from her 8-week internship in Japan, their quiet date was interrupted by Captian Hook and his crew. David wasn't about to give up without a fight!

After thoroughly convincing him that she would be stuck in Pennsylvania, Lauren surprised David when she flew in to see him at his Graduation from Agora College/Ohio Christian University

Although we just realized we strung the Christmas tree using the wrong end, this will always be a sweet memory of the first Christmas season we spent together, right after we started dating

A refreshing family vacation to Hocking Hills is a Green family tradition. David's first year being invited to go was spent relishing his time in her arms

Having taught her to swing dance, David was eager to show off his girlfriend. Or rather, was Lauren eager to show off her boyfriend when they went as alumni to her homeschool formal?

We saved our first kiss for the moment she agreed to marry me

It wasn't long since we started getting to know each other that we realized how many overlaps, we shared; from inexplicable obsessions with peacocks and Peter Pan all the way to mutual dreams

As not to scare her off, David surprised her with a rose and coupon for "One Free David Perdan Boyfriend" that he never expected her to redeem. Scribbles on paper have evolved to diamond rings

David promised to take Lauren to Taco Bell before he realized she'd redeem her coupon. Unwilling to be "the guy who had Taco Bell as a first date," David improvised with a white tablecloth and china

Not long after being told his infatuation was mutual, David remains perplexed at the impossibility of his brightly glowing future. Lauren, on the other hand, radiates nothing but contentment
