In 2022, Lawren and Jared first crossed paths on Hinge, though the app itself was only the introduction. The real magic happened in person...over what was meant to be a quick drink at Frankie’s Uptown Bar that turned into a five-hour hangout, fueled by easy conversation and playful banter, including a friendly alumni rivalry between Pepperdine University and Loyola Marymount University.

Jared had recently moved to Las Vegas from California, while Lawren had been calling the city home since moving from Cleveland at thirteen. A Vegas local ever since, she quickly took him under her wing—showing him the city, its rhythm, and eventually, her heart.

Since then, they’ve been inseparable. Traveling together, building a life, and blending friends and family. They still frequent Frankie’s, now their favorite neighborhood bar, where it all began. In 2024, they got engaged, moved in together, and welcomed their fur baby, Vino. Blessed that one evening out became home.
