Lauren attended her friend Kaleigh's bridal shower and that was the start of it all! Nathan's mom, Denise wanted to set Lauren up with her son, and Kaleigh was in support as the matchmaker. After Nathan got home from Latvia, he asked Lauren on a date, where he was forced (his words) to share an olive and mushroom (his two least favorite things) pizza at Zoobie's in East Lansing. Fast-forward 2 years later, and they got engaged at the same table where they met.
