It all started on Lauren’s very first day of college in Psychology class. Lauren was sitting with a friend when Ian walked in, scanned the room, and asked if the seat next to her was free. Lauren told him he could sit there, but the moment he turned his head, she whispered to her friend, "He is so cute." Ian’s version? He says he was simply looking for the prettiest girl in the room. Even though he was approaching from behind and hadn’t even seen her face yet, he knew exactly where he wanted to be. Lauren enjoyed their conversation so much that she couldn't stop talking about him when she got home that evening. There was just one problem: she didn’t know his name. That very same night, Lauren went on a mission. She spent the evening scouring the class GroupMe, scrolling through every member until she recognized his profile photo. Seeing how much Lauren liked him, her stepmom and stepsister pushed her to take the leap and reach out. Doing something she had never done before, Lauren sent him a message with her phone number. Ian didn’t make her wait—he responded and texted her immediately. From a chance encounter in a lecture hall to walking down the aisle, the rest is history!
