Through every hardship, we laugh, grow, and stay best friends—making each other better and never imagining life apart.
We would like to thank you for supporting Lauren & Colby in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met on Bumble, though I almost didn’t swipe right—I wasn’t sure I was Colby’s type. We matched and planned our first date for my birthday, but it didn’t go as planned. We were both at the restaurant… and somehow missed each other! Thankfully, we rescheduled later that week—and the rest is history.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is our engagement on December 18, 2021. I thought we were headed to dinner and The Nutcracker, but Colby suggested we stop for “pictures” at the Water Gardens. As we walked through, candles lit the path, and he proposed. The most unforgettable part? Both of our parents surprised us afterward to celebrate. It was magical, emotional, and the perfect start to our forever.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000, we would finally begin our fertility journey—a path filled with hope, love, and determination to grow our family. This support would open the door to treatments we've long awaited, bringing us closer to the dream of holding our baby in our arms and becoming the parents that we've always wanted to be.
