How we Met

Sometime in the beginning of December 2016

Just two dietetics students living in dreary cold Buffalo during December of 2016. Apparently they had some classes together (L doesnt remember this at all). But all it took was a facebook message from M about a fitness expo and a plan to go to the gym together that week, oh and a taco dinner. Within two weeks of that gym date and taco dinner M&L were officially both off the market! And here we are 2+ years later! Far from perfect but enjoying the exciting life we’ve begun building together. Thanks for coming along for the adventure with us. We cannot wait for what our journey through life together holds!

The Proposal

09.11.18

Throughout their relationship Michael and Lauren have done long distance a number of times. During the second (and longest) time Michael was in WA after graduation and Lauren remained in NY for her last year of school. In the weeks leading up to his visit in September, Michael told Lauren one night that their friends Josh and Mckayla wanted him to take photos of them with their son Josiah (the ring bearer!). Lauren didn’t think anything of that and said okay. She discussed with Mckayla where to go and they agreed upon the waterfront at sunset. Also Laurens favorite! However, over the next few weeks Lauren found it weird that they would ask Michael, the individual with the least photographic skills known to man to take their photos, why hadn’t they asked her to do them and why would she need to dress nice to take photos? Something didn’t make sense but Lauren didn’t really know what it was and in no way could see Michael ready to propose. Although the thought crossed her mind! Michaels best woman Jenna however told her Michael had no money for a ring and wasn’t ready for that commitment. And he was actually taking her out to a special dinner and he wanted her to look nice so that’s why he said they were taking photos. Either way Lauren was excited to see Michael after 3 months. So she put on nice clothes and picked him up at the airport and they went to the water front. Josh and Mckayla came all dressed in matching outfits with Josiah! Lauren was very confused - maybe they were just taking photos! They started taking photos and then convinced Michael and Lauren to take one. Michael was being extremely odd, refusing to put his arm around Lauren. She noticed and playfully yelled at him - but he was just trying to get the ring out of his pocket! Down on one knee he simply said “you make me extremely happy and that’s all I really need. Will you marry me” Lauren said yes and then everyone went to Allen Burger Venture (ABV for all the Buffalo peeps) to celebrate.
