The Story of Lauren & Jack

  1. It all began on a cold November night in 2009

    Lauren and Jack met on a chilly NYC night in November when Jack was in town for business, Jack was a 3rd wheel on a friend date with our friend Sarah.

  2. Our first kiss

    After weeks of excuses to email and call each other, we had our first date on a clear January night. Our first kiss was perfect, taking in the Manhattan skyline from the Manhattan Bridge.

  3. We just knew.

    We spent the next few months having exciting bicoastal adventures, sharing our favorite parts of our respective cities and discovering new ones.

  4. Back and forth across the country...

    With each trip back, it got harder to live apart.

  5. We learned our love of traveling

    We racked up frequent flyer miles, and fed our shared loves of exploration, culinary arts, and wine. Jack taught Lauren to relax, and Lauren taught Jack to love NY.

  6. Home town trips

    During hometown visits, explored the Pittsburgh hills of Jack's childhood and the wild west in Lauren's Aspen.

  7. With new family members

    And even met a new family member along the way...

  8. And then we knew

    Converging on Aspen for the 4th of July, we announced our decision to start our new chapter together in San Francisco

  9. A farewell bash

    A party for the ages, we sent New York off in style

  10. Nothing could hold us down

    Naturally, it took us an all nighter to pack for SF, but nothing could hold back our happiness

  11. Taking SF by storm

    We hit the ground running in SF, finding the a new home, the best hiking trails, sleek new eateries,and dear friends new and old.

  12. A love for Napa

    We spend many weekends in Napa, fostering our knowledge of wine (and drinking our fair share) and just trying to squeeze in as many new adventures as possible.

  13. The first hint

    During a trip to Paris, "the city of love," Jack began to hint that the Big Question might be popped soon.

  14. And then she said yes

    After a year and a half of bliss, Jack took Lauren for a surprise weekend trip beginning at Cavallo Point. Overlooking the San Francisco Bay, Jack asked Lauren to marry him. She said yes (but of course put the ring on herself first).

We cannot wait to share a day celebrating our love with you, our closest friends.

Lauren & Jack
are getting married!
