Lauren's Cousin, Molly, started working at Pennington & Co. where Tony also worked. Lauren tagged along to Pennington events and ran into Tony on several occasions. After two years of knowing each other Lauren convinced Tony to join her and her friends for a night out on Halloween. Tony said he'd only go out if Lauren came up with a costume for him to wear (little did he know just what he signed up for, see attached zombie pics)! Their makeup that night rendered both of them completely unattractive to the opposite sex BUT helped them realize how much they both liked each other. As they say....the rest is history!
