Lauren & Ryan met over Ryan's two favorite things - Golf & Reubens at a place Lauren spent most of her summers for years. Lauren was waitressing at Fire Ridge Golf Course the summer before her last year of college and Ryan was golfing for a work outing. After golfing, Ryan went up to the restaurant for food and beers and the two of them talked all night. Ryan ended up waiting for Lauren to get off work that night and they went out for some drinks in Grafton. ....The rest was history. 6 years later here they are. :)

Lauren & Ryan were up north (in Minocqua) for the Taft family vacation. She has been vacationing here every summer of her life since she was young. It was a Sunday afternoon at sunset when Ryan asked Lauren to go on a boat ride. Of course Lauren said yes and started packing up the cooler. They were cruising around the lake and eventually Ryan got down on one knee and proposed. The proposal was perfect. The two of them were in one of their favorite places, on a boat, at sunset.
