Through love at first sight, deep loss, health battles, and raising our girls — we stand strong, united, and forever in love. 💕
We would like to thank you for supporting The Blacks, Lauren & Garrett 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.
The moment Garrett walked into a room, Lauren felt and heard—“I’m going to marry that man.” She didn’t see him again for weeks and was bummed, but when they finally reconnected, everything clicked. From that day on, it was the start of their wild love story. Lauren still tells everyone, “God told me I was going to marry Garrett.” And she did. It was love at first sight, and fate sealed the rest.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Besides our wedding and the birth of our daughters, a trip to Kawela Bay, Oahu changed everything. We renewed our vows, reconnected on a deeper level, and explored the island hand in hand. It was magical—full of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. We still talk about that trip all the time. It truly was an unforgettable feeling we shared.
What would you do with $20,000?Raising two girls—one with special needs—while Lauren stays home raising them and managing her ongoing health struggles; means most of the $20,000 would help provide some stability. We’d also love to set some aside for a much-needed time together to recharge, and make more memories as a couple.
