Gregory and Lauren's story began in 2017 when Gregory made the first move by sending a message to Lauren on the online dating platform where they connected. After getting to know each other over a few weeks, they decided to meet in person. Their initial online connection blossomed into something special, and from that first meeting, they became inseparable. In 2019, they took a significant step in their relationship by purchasing their first home together. This marked their first experience living together full-time, embarking on a new adventure. The pandemic provided ample time for them to grow closer in their new home and shower their dog, Walter, with love. Their family expanded with the addition of two cats: Eve in January 2021 and Yzma in May 2023. On October 30, 2023, Gregory and Lauren began their vacation in Lauren's favorite place, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. They started their day at Animal Kingdom, Gregory's favorite park. That morning, they had a special tour to see the elephants, a new and exciting experience for both. Surrounded by four beautiful elephants, Gregory made the moment even more magical. Just before the tour ended, he pulled Lauren aside, got down on one knee, and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Through tears and laughter, she said yes. This day remains one of the most beautiful and memorable moments of their lives. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us throughout our journey. Your love and encouragement mean the world to us, and we can't wait to share our wedding celebration with you all!
