Like many love stories, it begins with a cliche - Two actors meet at a table read for a friend's script, Jim asks for Lauren's number, they go on a date in Venice... and then she ghosts him. FOR FIVE YEARS! *Jim takes a moment to breathe. Totally over it.* But don't despair, just before the fog of heartache overwhelms Jim completely... Lauren reaches out via Instagram. Or "Slid in his DMs" as Bill Shakespeare once mused. They meet to catch up, talk shop, and complain about the entertainment industry. One drink leads to two, then dinner, ending with the two of them making out like teenagers in Lauren's Nissan Versa. A year later she moved in to Jim's one bedroom beach bungalow with her cat and 98 pairs of shoes. And that was when everyone knew... wedding bells were on the horizon.

On a breezy Sunday afternoon in Brentwood, CA., Jim and Lauren were playing card games with Annie & James (Jim's sister and brother in law) and Brittany & Corey (Lauren's sister and brother in law). As Lauren started to deal another round of cards, Jim shakily got down on one knee to propose... and blacked out. Apparently he said something right, because Lauren said yes through tears and shouts of joy. High five!
