Dear Family & Friends, Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Although it was an extremely difficult decision, the health and safety of our loved ones is most important. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope you will be able to celebrate with us on our new date, 7/3/21. We'll be in touch soon! xo Michael & Lauren
Michael and I are used to spending extended periods of time apart, and Summer 2019 was no different. Michael was in beautiful Lawton, Oklahoma where he was finishing up his Basic Officer Leadership Course. I was interning in New York City. It was Labor Day weekend, and I had plans to spend the weekend on Long Beach Island to enjoy the last few days of summer with family. Last minute, I had to "babysit" my cousins and bring them to an apartment on Central Park West. As I was walking through a tunnel in the park with the girls, I heard a voice up ahead call out ... "Lauren." I knew right away it was Michael, there he was standing at the top of a staircase. He pulled off the ultimate surprise and proposed in front of our parents, family and a lot of other strangers who happened to be passing by. That was the beginning of the rest of our lives. We can't wait to celebrate with you!
