We are so incredibly appreciative of everyone in our lives and cannot wait to have you celebrate our special day with us!

Dan and Lauren met through "Bumble", an online dating application popular with the younger generations. While they met online (in true "millennial" fashion), it was in a rather interesting way. Bumble is essentially the "Sadie Hawkins of dating apps" because the woman must initiate contact (rather than the man doing so, which is a far more common expectation in the dating world). Lauren started off the conversation with a very clever pirate-themed joke to break the ice. It instantly grabbed Dan's attention as he holds comedy and laughter very close to his heart, and the rest is history! While Dan and Lauren's love for each other grew over time, their connection was instant. There were many long talks, good food and beer (and wine!), and a mutual love for sports, music, humor, pets and so many other things. There were also many trips to New Jersey and North Carolina to enjoy quality time with their respective families. As time went on it became increasingly clear that they are each others' soulmates. Dan proposed to Lauren in an intimate setting in their apartment after making a meal together one night, and that started the beginning of the rest of their lives together!

We are so grateful for everyone who was able to make it to our wedding, as well as for everyone who was so generous with the gifts given to us. We enjoyed a magical honeymoon in the Dominican Republic and have memories from our wedding weekend and honeymoon we will never forget. Thank you SO much for being a part of that!! Love, Dan & Lauren Renz
