Lauren and Nathan met in 2016 when Lauren started her job as a sports trainer at West Adelaide Soccer Club, where Nathan was a player. He left the club the following year to join the Adelaide Comets, but the two reconnected a year later and soon began dating.
Nathan proposed to Lauren in October 2022 while on holiday in London. They were in the hotel room overlooking Leicester Square and Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look was playing in the background, which became the song for their first dance at their wedding reception. Lauren sourced all things vintage and antique for the wedding and opted for a French couture-style dress. “I know it’s cliché, but it was the best day of our lives,” Lauren says. “Not often through life do you get to have all your favourite people in the world in one place. To be able to have this just made the day what it was.”
