‘He’s a changed man’: Woman marries her ‘high school bully’

After dating for more than four years, Lucas proposed in July 2022.

“He took me a top of a mountain to see watch some fireworks,” Lauren recalled.

“Then he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring.

“I had been a bit suspicious but still very shocked when it actually happened.”

The couple tied the knot in October 2022 - eloping with just their immediate family present at the ceremony.

"I’m a strong believer of everything happens for a reason and I love that it finally happened. "Marrying your high school sweetheart is the most beautiful thing I could ever dream for. "Lauren is awesome and I couldn’t ask for a better person to experience the rest of my life with. I want a family with Lauren, I’m excited to build a house and watch the rest of our dreams come true."
