Our story started in 2017 in the beautiful but drab halls of Los Angeles' City Hall East. Both Noé and Lauren were starting their careers at the Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney. Lauren as a receptionist and Noé as a Legal Secretary. At first, their paths would only cross when Noé feigned a need for office supplies or when he had a package delivered to the receptionist. Needless to say, every time that happened, Lauren was giddy and jumped at the chance to say hello and offer a helping hand to her office crush. After learning about Lauren's lunch date with Alysia -- a mutual friend of both lovebirds -- Noé decided to crash said lunch date at Spitz in Little Tokyo. Sparks ignited during the lunch so much that it was like they were the only two in the restaurant (sorry Alysia). That would be the first of an infinite number of lunch, post-work and weekend dates. Lauren and Noé bonded over their love of music, their wit and their shared experiences -- even joking that they lived the same lives on separate sides of the city. On January 5, 2018, Lauren and Noé planned an evening Disney date where Lauren was convinced Noé would ask her the big question. Unfortunately for Lauren, Noé did not ask the big question. Lauren was left with no other choice but to take matters into her own hands and lock down the man she knew would change her life. While walking past the Jumpin' Jellyfish ride at California Adventure, Lauren asked Noé to be her boyfriend. Luckily for Lauren, the stars above the California Adventure Pier aligned and Noé said yes. Lauren and Noé would spend the next 5 years falling deeply in love, traveling, moving in together, creating beautiful memories and raising their sweet fur baby, Oliver. On February 14, 2023, Lauren and Noé had planned a rather chill Valentine's Day celebration that consisted of a heart-shaped pizza from Pizza Hut and plenty of cuddles. Lauren was scheduled to be in class until 10 p.m. but decided, for the sake of Valentine's Day, to skip her last class and get home to Noé. Unbeknownst to Lauren, Noé had spent the entire day cleaning, decorating their apartment and preparing to pop thee biggest question. As soon as Lauren opened the door to their apartment, she saw Noé, down on one knee. Ray-J's "One Wish" playing in the background as the setting for Noé to ask Lauren to spend the rest of their lives together. Admittedly, Lauren was stunned and left speechless. To process what would soon be one of the best moments of her life, Lauren could only muster up a response of "be [redacted] for real." After looking into Noé's eyes and realizing that he was, in fact, [redacted] for real, Lauren responded with the most enthusiastic "yes" of her life. The planning process (ongoing) has been nothing short of exhilarating, yet beautiful. Lauren and Noé are thrilled to share their big day with all of their loved ones and look forward to seeing you there!
