The night was October 17th, 2019. Ryan was at Stan's Blue Note celebrating his oldest brother's, RC's, 30th birthday with some friends. After a few drink's he invited Lauren to stop by and have a drink with them, thinking, of course, she will say no...but she said YES! Lauren came, stayed for a drink or two, and left. Ryan thought it went well and hoped Lauren didn't mind drinking with a bunch of dudes at a dive bar. Later that week, Lauren suggested going to Happy Hour, and Ryan knew he had found the one. He remembered what his mother told him throughout his life, "God forbid, if you ever bring a girl to Stan's, and she comes back, marry her!" Momma knows best because here we are! We are so excited to take our next step in life with you all. All of you have been very important in our life and our relationship, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you in June. If you ever find yourself bored on a Thursday night in the Fall, stop by Stan's and come hang out with us and our crew. Come at the right time, and you will even hear Lauren say, "Come sit with us; Ryan will buy you a beer!"
