Lauren and Joe met on April 8th, 2022 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Joe had just arrived in America and was working on a yacht docked near Lauren's apartment. One night, Lauren was at a bar with her friend when Joe came over to introduce himself.

The following week, Joe and Lauren met for a drink at Hullabaloo followed by games at the arcade. Joe will say he beat Lauren at ski ball, but they both know that isn't true. They continued to see each other for a couple of months when it was time for Joe's yacht to sail to the Mediterranean. Joe told Lauren he would see her again but, at the time, she didn't believe him.

They continued to stay in contact every day and in September of that year, they decided to meet in Peru. Joe and Lauren climbed a mountain, white water rafted through the Andes, and Joe ate guinea pig. It was their first of many trips together.

For the next three years, Joe and Lauren would stay in Mexico, America, England, Ireland, and Italy. They got to spend nearly every day together despite being from different countries and on September 19th, 2024 while walking through the Boboli Gardens in Florence, Joe asked Lauren to marry him.
