Like all epic love stories, Lauretta and Travis found romance in a bar—the Sand Bar, to be specific. It’s a little ironic because Lauretta was “encouraged” into a frivolous night of alcohol-induced fun. Over some cocktails and beer, they found a way to flirt while talking about his little-known (okay, unknown) hometown of Yakima, Washington, and a motocross race that shares Lauretta’s name. They talked into the early hours of the morning, and it wasn’t until they woke up (separately in their own beds for clarification) that they’d realized they hadn’t exchanged numbers. Thank god for the art of internet creeping. Travis hunted down Lauretta on Instagram in less than 48 hours—without even her last name. Lauretta responded in kind and hunted him down on Facebook to make the first move. A simple message kickstarted their unwavering romance that’s taking them all the way down the aisle in August 2020.
