How Lauren met David

David and I met my first year of college at UGA. He was a sophomore living in his fraternity house and I was a freshmen who still trying to make friends. One day Patrick a friend of mine that was drum-line with David, told him about this girl he had to meet. Patrick proceeded to let me know that I had to meet a kid named Beeco- all I could think was how weird of a name that was! Later that week, we drove to the fraternity house and David introduced himself as David to me. All the while I was still wondering who this Beeco kid was. Come to find out his name is David Beeco. David will be the first to admit I did not like him at first. It wasn’t that he wasn’t adorable and super sweet, I just wasn’t looking for a relationship. David persevered and after a few long months and 3 different “I just want to be friends” he hooked me. That was almost 4 and 1/2 years ago and we have been steady ever since

Lauren and David Proposal Story

David proposed at the Georgia Aquarium the day after our 3 and 1/2 year anniversary, which happened to be the week before I graduated. He told me he wanted to take me somewhere as a graduation gift and I told him to make it a surprise. We were driving through Atlanta that morning and he starts to turn off on the Aquarium exit, to which I exclaim: “David are we going to the Aquarium!?” He told me yes AND we were going on a back stage tour AND “There is another surprise when we get there” which I honestly could not fathom what that would be.

When we arrive at the security line I am rushing through trying to get inside. Behind me, David is taking his time and gets stopped by the security guard when she asks him to take everything out of his pockets. He tells her that he can’t because he has a ring in his pocket. The guard looks confused until he says “I’m going to propose.” She exclaims “Here??” Big boost of confidence at the last moment for him! When we get to the counter where we are picking up our special tickets someone literally runs into the back of me. I turn around to see my best friend who is coming on the tour with us! This was my other surprise! At the end of the tour we sat front center in the largest room to watch a diving show. A few minutes after it is over a worker stands up at the front and tells the audience that he needs two volunteers then points to me and David. David promptly stands and I get up confused.

We face the audience that is now gather so that our backs are to the tank while the worker asks us question about our tour. He then tells me “Now if you turn around, there is another fish for you to see” while the audience gasps. I completely think that something terrifying is about to pop up and scare me, but when I turn around I see a diver in the tank hold a fish shaped sign that reads “Lauren, Will you marry me? -David.” I cannot believe it and turn to David who is smiling and takes my hands. The only response I can give is Oh my gawd! While he gets down on one knee and pulls out a beautiful ring that he picked out based on something I had seen a month before. Of course I said yes! The whole time my best friend is taking pictures and a video while a photographer from the aquarium is also taking pictures. In the end I had a whole bunch of cute pictures and a ton of strangers from the audience telling me congratulations.
