Lauren and Michael met in their high school physics class where they were definitely more of acquaintances than friends. They would make smart-alec comments here and there towards each other but nothing much more than that (Michael more so because he loved Lauren's smile). Fast forward 6 years from graduation and they reconnected over a Facebook memory. They went out on their first date and the rest was history!
Michael and Lauren headed towards what Lauren thought would be a nice dinner on Fort Lauderdale beach. As they walked on the beach while the sunset, Michael got down on one knee, professed his love for her and proposed! She said yes and turned to hear quite a bit of commotion coming from across the street. She asked Michael "who are all those crazy people" to which Michael replied "that's our family". Michael had invited both families and Lauren's best friends to witness the proposal and afterwards they all joined in a celebratory dinner to cap off what was a beautiful day.
