Wedding Date on May 13, 2022

Steve + Lauren's story is one of perfectly timed encounters. They first met in 2013 through the volleyball community and there was an instant attraction! They spent a good portion of that summer dating, but ultimately decided that it wasn't the right fit at that time...so they went their separate ways but remained close friends. Over the years, the couple stayed in touch and supported each other from a distance. After nearly 7 years of living in different cities, Lauren planned a weekend trip to visit Steve. She never thought that they would move past being friends, but on that trip she finally saw him differently. Steve had told his mom that Lauren would be the only reason he would move back to Toledo, and just a few days after their reunion, Steve got a job offer that moved him back to Toledo and back to Lauren. After a few months of dating, the couple decided it was time to make it official and Steve proposed. They were married in Toledo, the city where they met, reunited, and fell in love all over again.
