We met as freshmen in college, we were living across the hall from each other. Ryan and some of his friends were playing cards in the common area. Lauren then went over and proceeded to kick butt in a card game. A couple weeks later, and after hanging out together more and more, we went to the USF homecoming dance together. After that, we enjoyed many movie nights together until we finally decided to start dating on October 26th, 2016. Five years and many adventures later, on Thanksgiving, we got engaged.
