This is the first picture we ever took together. From that first bus ride at the airport, we sat next to each other every time we traveled, including this train ride from Florence to Cinque Terre.

Nothing says "love" quite like licking a cheek in some Roman ruins. We took this one the day we first admitted we liked each other, walking down the cobblestone streets near the Coliseum.

Our first official date! We stopped at a local Tiramasu shop near our hotel in Trastevere, then popped into a photo booth outside, which we did not know how to use, resulting in this gem of a print.

On our last day in Italy, we dressed up and ate a fancy beachside dinner. Unfortunately, Lauren is *not* saying here that the alcohol won't be comped by the program (that would've been good to know).

Back in the States, we kept in touch, and it wasn't long before Wynn was making regular visits to Cincinnati to visit. Here's our first lake day!

New Year's, 2020! Our first six months together were full of happy memories like this. Surely, we thought, the next six will be full of more fun adventures! (NARRATOR: they were not.)

Two years, two graduations, and one pandemic later, still going strong! We took this at the pumpkin patch, and it sat on our mantle for years until we finally paid someone to take nice pictures of us.

Soon after graduation, we moved in together and adopted our furry first-born, Rocky! Here he is following his first haircut, which he needed... desperately.

This flick is from Daytona Beach, where we proved once and for all that there are no laws when you're drinkin' claws. (DISCLAIMER: this is false.)

Every year for our anniversary, we pick a fancy restaurant in Cincinnati and go on a date. Little did we know we'd get engaged at this very same spot, less than a year later!

Both of our birthdays are in October, so Halloween time is special! We took this on vacation at Dollywood, shortly before security intervened to prevent Lauren from stealing one of those pumpkins.

On June 28th, 2024, Wynn proposed in front of the fountain at Lytle Park! We celebrated with family, friends, and enough champagne to fill the fountain...

In December 2024, we bought our first house! In summer 2025, we are demolishing it, because it is decrepit and crumbling. In early 2026 (hopefully), we will have finished building our *second* house!

We were going to get some banners like this, but it turns out, it's cheaper to pay someone with photoshop -- shoutout to our wonderful photographer, Madison Borland. See you Nov. 1st!
