Our Story

We grew up going to the same elementary and middle schools and never once really spoke to each other. Then, Cameron moved to Vegas, and that probably should've been the end of the story (if he weren’t the Ryan Gosling to my Notebook!).

At the end of 2018, Cameron reached out to Lauren on Instagram (slid into the DMs as they say) like the smooth operator he is. We talked on and off for a while, and eventually Cameron worked up the nerve to ask Lauren out.

She said no. Then he asked again, and she said no again — distance, timing, all very sensible reasons. Turns out persistence works, because by March of 2020, "no" finally became "okay, fineee, yes." Just in time for the entire world to shut down weeks later.

So we spent the early part of our relationship getting to know each other at a distance and taking constant trips to San Diego <> Las Vegas. Until we finally decided to move in together in late 2022.

We've spent the last four years figuring out how to be in the same place — San Diego, then Vegas, then finally, actually together in one city with one address. Turns out that was just the warm-up.

October 21st, 2027, we make it official in the desert we now call home. After a slow start, we're not exactly rushing into anything — but we're ready for whatever's next.

Married life, more road trips, probably a dog at some point, and hopefully a lot fewer gophers involved in future big moments.

We can't wait to celebrate with you.
