Distance couldn’t keep Lauren and DJ from being together. The couple met five years ago in Chicago–Lauren lived there and DJ was splitting his time between the Windy City and Dallas. They kept in touch every few months for two years, but never officially dated. However, one weekend when DJ was in town for work, he asked Lauren on an official date to RL Restaurant. They started dating the next week and continued their relationship long distance for a year. Lauren made the move to Dallas to be with DJ and the couple dated for three more years before getting engaged.
For the proposal, DJ popped the question in a special place. DJ, who is originally from Scotland, invited Lauren to his family house in the countryside. They went for a walk through the forest and came upon a small lake. “The sun was setting over the lake and he proposed to me there,” says Lauren. They spent the rest of the trip celebrating their journey to becoming husband and wife.
Lauren attended Indiana University where she received a degree in journalism and a second concentration in English. She is an account executive at rewardStyle. DJ graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2004 with degrees in real estate finance and psychology. He also graduated from the Executive MBA program at SMU in 2012. He is a partner at Donohoe Investment Group. They will marry at the La Residencia Hotel in Deia, Mallorca, Spain on Saturday, July 23, 2016.
