How they met
Lauren and Nick met in 6th grade, but did not become close until senior year of high school. Starting out as great friends and then it blossomed into something more! They officially began dating in 2011 and have been going strong since! They ended up staying together all through college (Nick at Pitt, Lauren at Temple), and then after college Lauren moved to Pittsburgh to be with Nick.
About the Proposal
Lauren thought they were going to dinner at Smiling Banana Leaf in Highland. Running late for dinner, Nick said he would call the restaurant and told Lauren the restaurant said the reservation was actually later than Nick originally said. Nick suggested walking around Highland Park while they wait for our reservation. As they walked around and looked at the fountains, etc., Nick asked Lauren a series silly of questions. He finally said “I have one more question.. Will you marry me?” Lauren was stunned and of course said yes. They did eventually eat at Smiling Banana Leaf and as they arrived back home, their home was filled with friends and family (who traveled from near and far) to celebrate!
