We can't wait to say I do!

Rey and Lauren met on a summer day in 2015 at the first night of a college ministry event at their church. Lauren being a veteran at her church decided she would be welcoming to new people she hadn't met before, when she spotted Rey. They began talking, Rey asked her a lot of questions and started telling other people how awesome she was. Lauren thought Rey was pretty cool too. Lauren and Rey began to get to know one another more this summer but Lauren shortly left mid August and moved to Uruguay for 10 months to serve as a missionary with Cru. As Lauren returned home in late June of 2016, she began to reconnect with her friends at church and got involved in serving in student ministry. Rey and Lauren began to run into each other either with mutual friends or at student ministry events as Rey was serving at the time too. In late 2016, Rey claims he wasn't intentionally flirting with Lauren, but his heartfelt Christmas present and frequent visits to bring her coffee at work made Lauren think otherwise. Lauren began crushing hard on Rey and after a few weeks of back and forth flirting, the two of them went on a date to one of their favorite places, Blissful Banana. From there, the rest is history as they say. Lauren and Rey realized their shared love for John Mayer, good music, good food, wine, adventuring, and The Office and have grown into a deep friendship and love for one another. Rey and Lauren got more serious about their relationship during the summer of 2018 and Rey eventually popped the question on Lauren's birthday (NYE) ending 2018 on a high note. Lauren and Rey are excited for all the highs and lows the next season of their lives and they can't wait to share it with all the people they love!
