Daniel and Lauren studied abroad together in Milan, at Bocconi University. Lauren likes to add that it was the YALE OF ITALY, but Daniel graduated from Wharton, so it matters less to his self-esteem. Daniel claims that he first laid eyes on Lauren when they were commuting into the city from their inconveniently located dorm building in suburban Milan. Lauren does not remember this, and she maintains that it wasn't until an exchange student happy hour that they met for the first time. Regardless, the connection was solidified during a day trip to Oktoberfest for "cultural exploration". Daniel saw Lauren across one of the long beer hall tables packed with their exchange student friends and dared her to drink a liter of... water...for her health. They spent the day together and shared their first kiss while dancing in the Hofbrau tent. The two spent their last years of college in a long-distance relationship (Washington D.C. to Philadelphia) and moved to NYC together after graduation. In 2019 after 5 years of dating, Daniel had enough of Lauren's new hobby of looking at engagement rings in front of him on her phone, and he proposed on January 19th at their favorite rendezvous location from the long-distance days: Union Station in Washington D.C. Storytime has ended. We are so happy that you will be celebrating this exciting time with us. Thank you for all of your love and support leading up to the big day.

Daniel y Lauren se conocieron mientras estudiaban juntos en Milan - por un intercambio estudiantil- en la Universidad de Bocconi. El día exacto es una disputa entre los dos. Daniel se acuerda de haber hablado con Lauren cuando esperaban el transporte público, mientras que Lauren dice que fue unos días después en un evento de bienvenida para los estudiantes internacionales. Pero lo que sí esta claro es que la conexión entre los dos se concreto cuando fueron juntos a una excursión cultural a Munich: Daniel vio a Lauren en una de las mesas largas del salón, se acercó a ella y (después de algunas cervezas alemanas) se pasaron todo el resto del día juntos. El resto de su tiempo en la universidad alternaban los fines de semana entre Washington D.C. y Filadelfia para verse - y ya graduados de sus respectivas universidades se mudaron a Nueva York juntos. En el 2019, después de 5 años de noviazgo, Daniel le propuso matrimonio a Lauren el 19 de enero. Estamos contentísimos por poder celebrar este día con familia y amigos. Gracias a todos por su amor y apoyo para llegar a este día tan esperado.
