Lauren and Mike - Engagement

They both played sports half a world away. Mike played baseball in Italy (including pitching in the 2004 Olympics for team Italy) Lauren played basketball in Germany. It wasn't until a flight back home that their lives finally collided. They both had a layover in Milan Italy, that is where they first saw each other. After arriving in Chicago they exchanged email addresses at baggage claim and began a journey that would change their lives forever. As time went by; phone calls, emails, and visits passed, the unfamiliarity between them changed to friendship and eventually into endless love. One year from the day they met, Mike surprised Lauren by taking her on a horse drawn carriage ride to look at Christmas light downtown Fort Wayne. He got down on one knee and proposed that night.

In August, Lauren and Mike will celebrate their marriage at the Summit Club overlooking the beautiful city of Fort Wayne. It will be a stunning event that we are excited to be a part of.
