Lauren and Nick met in Ocean City, Maryland. Nick was there for his high school senior week and Lauren was taking a girls trip. Lauren met up with friends on the beach, who happened to be mutual friends of Nick. After a friendly volleyball game, Lauren and Nick immediately connected because of their competitive personalities. Lauren said to her friend, "there's something special about him." Once they got home, Nick asked Lauren out and ever since, they have been inseparable!

The beach became Nick and Lauren's favorite place to be together, so Nick decided to take Lauren back to where they met. A rainy Memorial Day weekend at the beach turned into a romantic proposal, followed by a celebration with close family and friends!
