These two have probably one of the coolest stories of how they met that I have ever heard. Pretty much right out of a movie. They both worked in different buildings connected by the same bridge, her train station was near his building and his parking lot was near hers.  So inevitably they would pass each other on that bridge every day.  The attraction was immediate, but they both were shy. They started by smiling at each other, then a smile and a “hello”…pretty soon they were looking forward to that momentary encounter every single day.

Jon eventually worked up the courage to ask Lauren out on a date and the rest is history. These are two people that are oozing with authenticity, creativity, and passion. They invited 60 of their closest friends and family to celebrate on a bridge in Newport Beach to commemorate how they first met. What followed was tacos and an epic dance party. I was so stoked to be a part of it…
