From Eagles to Engaged 💍
Lauren and Joe were both Eagles in 2022, but their paths didn’t cross until after graduation! They connected over their shared love of bagels at Empire Bagel Factory on Alico Road, and their fourth date took them back to FGCU for a basketball game with the Alumni Association.
In October 2026, Joe proposed at their favorite sunset spot in Downtown Fort Myers. Now, they’re counting down to their wedding in December 2027!
Congratulations to Lauren and Joe! 💚
