Lauren and I met in English class in the fall of 2017. It was the first semester of our freshman year at the University of Maryland, and I asked for her phone number so we could "peer edit each other's papers". Little did she know, I was really interested in getting to know her, and I didn't care so much about editing papers... Lauren invited me to a soccer game, then I invited her to a party, and it didn't take long before we quickly found ourselves falling for each other. Over the last 7 years, we've shared almost every experience with one another - both good and bad. We have traveled together, gone to concerts together, graduated college together, moved in together, AND raised a puppy together. After 6 years of dating, I finally found the courage to ask her to be my wife, and I couldn't be happier that she said yes. We are very excited to share in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony with each and every one of you, as we continue to grow our love for one another!
