Lauren and Ryan met the old-fashioned way—Hinge—while living in Greenpoint and Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2022. After a first date at a local dive bar, Goldie's, it was clear there was something there. Thankfully, Ryan was successfully able to con Lauren into a second date, and the rest is history.

Over the course of several years, they lived together in Brooklyn, then packed up Oden, Walker, and life in NYC, and moved to Austin, Texas, adding a new chapter to their book of adventures together.

For the next chapter, they thought it best to go back to where it all started—Brooklyn—and celebrate with those that matter most to them.
