As it goes in the 21st century, we met on a dating app. Our first date was at Iron Gate in DC and Lauren loved the easy banter and Charles swooned over Lauren's braided hair. We squeezed several dates into the next week before Lauren left town for two weeks and texted constantly while apart. We reunited at a Zac Brown Band concert a few weeks later and Lauren knew that Charles was something special. Over three years later, after several moves, buying a home, many vacations and surviving a global pandemic, Charles popped the question during a sunrise hike in Zion National Park. Sneaky devil that he is, Lauren was not expecting to get engaged on the trip and was caught off guard, but answered with a characteristically (and happy) tearful 'Yes'. Charles hired a photographer to meet us and capture our newly engaged glow amid the amazing landscape of Zion. We're so grateful to have those pictures as a memory of that perfect day!
