In March 2017, we met through the Brooklyn Jewish community, and drew close in the ensuing months as Prospect Park running partners. Almost a year after we met, Aaron finally told Lauren he had romantic feelings for her when walking her home from Shabbat dinner one night, and she decided to give him a shot. Over the months that followed, we learned so much about each other as our lives intertwined. We shared our families, our dreams, and our challenges, and even life hacks like having a water bottle! In late October 2019, Aaron surprised Lauren at the beginning of the week by suggesting they take a hike together. As Lauren was about to take a bite of her sandwich, Aaron handed her a book he had made of reasons why he loved her, along with a ring. A few weeks later, it would be Lauren’s turn to surprise Aaron, with a friend-assisted scavenger hunt and a watch. We're so excited to share this next step in our journey with you!
