And now, they both traveled back to San Francisco for the first time together, and with their families in tow, to be wed. We started the…
Lauren and Jonathan first met through mutual friends in Knoxville, Tennessee. They knew each other for a year before Jonathan struck up a conversation with Lauren at a concert and soon thereafter asked her out on a breakfast date on a Wednesday. Unique move, for sure.
