We met the old-fashioned way - online. Lauren’s profile was a quiet siren call that simply read, “Who wants to get high and go to a museum?” Little did Lauren know, that was already Kate’s favorite pastime.

We started dating in the middle of the pandemic, when bars and restaurants were off the table. Our first date wasn’t over cocktails or dinner, but on a walk through the woods. It felt natural, and it stuck. Since then, wandering forest trails has been one of our favorite ways to be together.

When we started dating, we escaped to Goldberry Woods for a quiet weekend away. We fell in love with the woods, the lake, and the calm the place holds. Returning each year on our anniversary became a tradition before we even realized we were starting one.

So it feels only right that we’re getting married the same way it all began: outside, surrounded by trees, in a place that has meant so much to us from the very start. We’re so happy to share it with you.
