Lauren and Alfred met at Cooper University Hospital. They spent two years working beside each other navigating the joys and stressors of life, first as colleagues then as friends. Some say it was Lauren’s wits, others say it was Alfred’s charm.

On a rainy morning in Banff, Canada, Lauren and Alfred set out on a trek along the Big Bee Hive trail. Reaching the summit with a breathtaking view of Lake Louise, Alfred chose this moment to propose to Lauren. Lauren says it was the easiest decision she ever made.
