Scott and Lauren met at a friend's wedding in 2016. Scott was a groomsman, and Lauren was a guest of the bride. Since she only knew the bride and groom she was only planning on staying for the ceremony, but ended up staying the entire evening after meeting Scott and being blown away by his dance moves. With Scott living in Scottsdale and Lauren in Portland, they continued talking on the phone for a few months after that night. It wasn't until Scott invited Lauren to his sister's wedding that things started to get serious. A month later, when Lauren went to visit Scott in Arizona, they officially started dating. Over their seven years together, they have had many adventures, travelling the US and globally, surviving their first year living together during COVID, arguing over who is their dog Hank's favorite (Scott), to build a lasting love. In the fall of 2023, while in Giglio, Italy (where Lauren's family is from before migrating to the United States), Scott asked Lauren to marry him.
