Lauren and Taylor have known each other for years, having first met in high school, where they shared the same group of friends. Though they spent plenty of time together during high school, it wasn't until their senior year that they started to form a deeper connection as they prepared to embark on the next chapter of their lives at the University of Arkansas.

Once they arrived at the University of Arkansas, Lauren and Taylor started hanging out more frequently. Before long, Taylor asked Lauren to be his girlfriend and they officially started dating. Since that day, they have been inseparable, sharing countless adventures and supporting each other through it all. Now, after eight amazing years together, they're ready to begin the next chapter.

Taylor pursued his degree in finance, while Lauren studied nursing, and after graduation, their adventure continued. Taylor accepted a position at Raymond James in St. Petersburg, and the two of them moved to Florida together to start the next phase of their journey. They love spending their days biking to the beach, trying new restaurants and bars, and showing people around what they have made a home for themselves in St. Pete, with their dog, Luna. Lauren and Taylor have created a life filled with love and laughter.

On December 23rd, 2023, while Lauren thought they were headed to church, Taylor surprised her with a heartfelt proposal, asking her to marry him. Now they can't wait to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by friends and family who have been with them through every chapter of their story.
