With laughter being such an important part of the couple’s life, Lauren admits that Seth’s signature laugh “didn’t register with me when we first started dating” in 2004, until her friend pointed it out a few weeks later.
“My best friend from home, who’s like my sister, came to visit,” she recalls. “And we actually ran into Seth, although I knew he would be there because he would go to Barnes & Noble at The Grove every day.”
“I remember she was one that was like, ‘Oh my God, his laugh is so great.’ And I was like, ‘Oh yeah, that is a really great laugh,’ " says Lauren.
