In 2017, Lauren visited her friend Anastasia (who is a bridesmaid in the wedding) at NAU, where Jameson attended college. Anastasia told Lauren before she visited that she had a friend she thought Lauren would love. Lauren didn't like to be set up so she never asked his name. The next day at Tequila Sunrise, Lauren and Jameson ran into each other and left the crowd and spent the rest of the night dancing, eating, and drinking together. Little did she know this was the guy that Anastasia was trying to set her up with all along! Lauren came back to Newport that weekend and immediately told her mom that she knew she just met her husband. 2017 Lauren was right!
