Jason and Lauren were brought together by education... no seriously. The story goes like this: Kindergarten, 3rd grade, 9th and 10th grade Spanish (shoutout Senor Duran!), and finally UCSB. Junior year of college, something finally clicked, and Jason decided it was time to be more than friends. One night after a few games of beer die and a walk down to the ocean, Jason spilled the beans then said "yeah, I think we should date." Thankfully Lauren had been waiting for that sentence since high school, and agreed.
One drunken night in San Antonio, Texas, Jason "spontaneously" booked 2 nights at a fancy hotel by the beach in Santa Barbara while Lauren yelled "we cannot afford that!" Turns out he had already coordinated dates with at least 30 of her closest friends and family, and just needed a cover story. December 11th rolled around and Jason planned a "sexy picnic" a.k.a "please wear a nice outfit so you look nice in our engagement photos." He popped the question at a park on the ocean, to which Lauren said "of course!"
