Chris & Lauren matched on Hinge & instead of texting, FaceTimed for hours immediately, & everyday until they met in person the next week. For their 1st date, they went for a Happy Hour to a speakeasy in Chelsea, Raine's Law Room - they talked so much that they ended up closing the place down. The 1st date ended up lasting the entire weekend, going to the MET, walks through Central Park, brunch, out to dinner... it's like they met & were instantly a natural, seamless couple. Ever since Lauren & Chris matched, they were inseparable. They just knew right away.

During COVID, the city was entirely shut down. Chris proposed on their building's rooftop, in a private, personal moment, yet completely surrounded by NYC's skyline. They were excited to share positive news during such an otherwise uncertain time.
