Mark grew up with John and I've known Lauren since 2006 / 2007 through the Catholic 20-Somethings Ministry.
They got married May 8, 2010, so they're still newlyweds! :) I've been around since the beginning of their relationship, so I've been blessed to witness them grow together as a couple. Mark's group of guy friends and their girlfriends / wives often travel together, so we've all been on several trips together, from Miami to Dallas to the Texas Hill Country, and we spend a lot of time together here in the great ATX. I think it's safe to say that we'll be a constant in each others' lives forever since this group of guys is so close and has been together so long! I pray we have a lot of life together to look forward to!
One of the things I admire about Lauren's and John's relationship is how, as a couple, they place value on familial relationships. John's dad was his best man at the wedding. They live within 15 minutes of both sets of parents. Lauren was just talking a couple of days ago about how important her family continues to grow to her. While I know there can be an imbalance for couples when it comes to extended family, I think Lauren and John have found that great level that works for them and nourishes their relationship as a couple. Having that support system can make a huge impact!
Another great couple to know!
