From 2021 to forever
"Ithaca, NY is in the depths of wintery despair."
Lauren ventures outside with her friend, Liv, in a jacket big enough to double as a small shelter. Their destination? The cozy frat house of ZBT.
Josh begrudgingly enters his car and does what young fraternity members do best, drive cute sorority girls around campus on command of older fraternity members.
Josh quickly realizes that Lauren was more than worth the drive and he proceeds to smooth talk his way around to getting her phone number. Josh and Lauren spend the rest of the winter ice skating, walking on frozen lakes, watching movies, and falling in love. The following 3 and a half years are spent throughout Ithaca, San Francisco, and NYC doing similar activities.
"Ithaca, NY is flourishing in fall beauty. Lauren, Josh, and both sets of families are back in town (Josh's family is there unbeknownst to Lauren)."
Josh frantically prepares the beautiful Stewart Park with Kim, Seth, Sophia, and Jonathon for the "big question". Josh had told Lauren he was catching up with a professor in the park (Josh is still shocked Lauren fell for that).
Lauren and her parents are driving from campus to Stewart Park to pick up Josh for dinner.
Josh gets down on one knee and asks Lauren the age old question of love: "Will you marry me?"
"We cannot wait to celebrate our love and our story with our friends and family on 8/1/26!"
