Ryan and Lauren Murphy

We enjoy every day together. From sitting around, to hiking 15 miles to a volcano in Iceland. We laugh, love & make the most of everything.

How did your love story begin?

Lauren and I took a day trip into NYC on December 16, 2017. We were friends and were just going in for the usual holiday NYC sights. After a fun day going to Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, St. Pats and other spots we grabbed dinner and drinks before heading out of town. While we were grabbing dinner, she touched my hand and the rest is history. Somewhere along the way, we both realized we destined for more than just friendship.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

It sounds so cliche to say all of them, but we’ve been to five countries, countless concerts and arts events, and have done so much since 2017. People are always asking what we’re doing on the weekend, or where we’re going next. Everything we do together is fun because we’re together. We try to make the most of our time and the places we find ourselves in.

What would you do with $20,000?

I think we would probably use it to continue our travel adventures. We have been to about five countries together since 2021, but the travel wishlist is long. I think we would also donate a portion to places like the Nashville Zoo or the Patchogue Theatre that we love to support; you know, pay it forward a little.
