How we met

Picture it: 2014 at The DL in NYC. The music was pumping, the lights were vibrant, and we were both there to celebrate our mutual best friend Heather Boucher’s birthday. While the night might be a hazy memory for most (IYKYK), for us, it was the beginning of something unforgettable.

THE JOURNEY

Fast forward through years of BBQs, birthdays, and random hangouts. We kept running into each other, and each encounter added a fun twist to our friendship.

Our worlds finally collided on March 26th, 2021, about seven years later, at a get-together at Joey's apartment, Sam's best friend. That night, something clicked. We knew our story was meant to be more than just occasional meetings and friendly exchanges. From that moment on, our bond grew stronger, leading us to where we are today.

The Proposal

One unforgettable night in Paris in June 2024—Lauren’s absolute favorite place—Sam popped the question on the Pont des Arts bridge during a moonlit stroll. He had planned to propose before their European trip, but when that didn’t work out, he knew Paris was the perfect place. With the city lights sparkling and the Louvre in the background, it turned into the perfect, spontaneous moment, proving once again that nothing beats Paris!
