We crossed paths a few times in college, running in similar circles and spending a lot of time in the School of Business at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. It was after college when we both moved to Chicago that we started spending more time together. In the summer of 2022, at a friend's wedding Tyler attended and Lauren was a bridesmaid in, we spent the night chatting, dancing, and swimming in the hotel pool. Tyler asked Lauren on a date the next day, and we haven't stopped going on dates since!
