Lauren's POV:

Our journey began in October 2021. I was a junior at Michigan State University and Isaac sent me a DM on instagram, responding to a song I posted on my story. We chatted for a little while about music, football, and how my classes were going. A couple days later, he was "coincidentally" coming up to Michigan State to visit some friends and invited me to join them for dinner. He immediately made me laugh, he asked about my life, and he played some really good music in the car. After that, we continued to text and planned an official first date for October 16.

It was a cool, fall day when Isaac arrived to my house and I had finally settled on an outfit, after roughly six outfit changes. White doc martens to go to a cider mill? The dedication to look cute was real. We went to the cider mill and laughed the whole way there. He grabbed my hand in the corn maze to help me over a puddle (aww) and I felt my heart genuinely skip a beat. If you know me well, you know the date didn't end in kiss in the rain movie style fashion... but there was a second, third, fourth date. And now, I get to date him forever.

These past 3+ years of dating and being engaged have been the best years of my life. His kindness, love, compassion, humor, adventurous spirit, and love for the Lord made me fall hopelessly in love.

I can't wait to spend forever with him :)

Xoxo, Lauren
