Lauren & Joe
The Couple
Lauren and Joe grew up a mere 15 miles apart from each other, but it took them moving to New York City to meet. They were set up on a blind date by mutual friends in August 2015 and have been together ever since. They continue to work hard and grow in their careers while making time to travel the world together. After three and a half years of dating, Joe proposed and made Lauren the happiest girl in the world. Lauren and Joe can’t wait for this next chapter in their lives and couldn’t be more excited to celebrate their marriage with you!
Lauren and Joe were legally married on their original wedding date, September 26th, 2020, with immediate family and grandparents. While we wish we could have celebrated together in September, we can’t wait to see you in October!
