Story

A boy from Los Angeles and a girl from Seattle. Both went to the University of Southern California at the same time, but their paths never crossed. Both also enrolled in the same physiology class at USC, but once again their paths never crossed. It was not until years later, when they both had graduated college, that they found themselves once again in the same city -- this time in the Emerald City, Seattle. They did not meet until six months after Justin moved to the city for his post-graduate training, but the day they finally did was when the seed of something special was planted and began to grow. Despite the abundant rain in Seattle, however, only the right temperature and conditions, the great friends they had, their loving parents, and their love for Boiling Point could help their relationship grow into what it is today.

Lauren and Justin first met under a cloudy sky at the University of Washington in Seattle in January 2015. She was a smiley third-year pharmacy student and he was the critical judge for a pharmacy school competition. They did not know it at the time, but it was the day that changed each of their lives forever and led to many fun-filled adventures from Seattle to Los Angeles to Irvine and now to the East Coast. Although he was instantly captivated by her beautiful smile, her team ultimately did not win that competition and they were not officially L+J until one year later. Between the competition and when they became official, however, they both got to know each other through dates at Jewel Box Cafe (first "date"), Momiji, Din Tai Fung (first time meeting her parents), Fuji Sushi, never Boiling Point (amazing, huh?), and other Seattle favorites with the key to Lauren's heart -- food :) Ever since then, they have been inseparable and look forward to sharing this magical moment with each of you.
