How Will Aisenberg and Laura Cohen met
William Aisenberg and Laura Cohen first met during Laura's first year of graduate school at an orientation happy hour, where they were introduced by a mutual friend. The couple hit it off immediately, talking throughout the night and playing bar games. Laura even judged Will for drinking beer directly from a pitcher! Their first date was the following week, where they spent four hours deep in conversation and barely touched their food.
Over the years, they continued to talk about books and science, played board games, and travelled the world together, visiting cities such as New York, Chicago, Madrid, and Munich. They also spent time goofing off, baking, and building a life together. One particular trip saw them head to North Carolina to visit their friends Ashton and Alvin, and their dog, Bryn. Unbeknownst to Laura, Will had been planning a surprise with their friends.
On another occasion, the couple spent the day playing board games, exploring a brewery, and playing arcade games. Will then suggested they check out a nearby bookstore, as his sister Monica had told him about it. After a long hunt for parking, they arrived at the bookstore. Will nervously corralled Laura into a private corner, under the guise of showing her some Paris travel books, and then got down on one knee to propose. The proposal was perfect for the couple, who shared a love of books and travel.
The couple's wedding website, where these details were found, also mentions their mutual friends, Ashton, Alvin, and their dog Bryn, who were there when Will was planning to propose to Laura.

Their first date
Will Aisenberg and Laura Cohen first met during Laura's first year of graduate school at an orientation happy hour, where they were introduced by a mutual friend. They talked all night, played bar games, and Laura judged Will for drinking beer straight from a pitcher. Their first date was the following week.
The date lasted four hours, and the couple spent most of the time talking and very little time eating, much to the dismay of their waitress. They talked about books and science, played board games, and travelled the world, from New York and Chicago to Madrid and Munich. They baked together, goofed off, and built a life as a couple.
One weekend, Will and Laura headed to North Carolina to visit their friends Ashton and Alvin and their dog, Bryn. Unbeknownst to Laura, Will had been planning the weekend with them in secret. The couple enjoyed playing board games, exploring a brewery, and playing arcade games. Will then suggested they check out a bookstore nearby that his sister Monica had told him about. They spent a long time looking for parking, during which Will was nervously pacing inside.
Once they arrived at the bookstore, Laura assumed they were only there to browse, but Will pulled her into a private corner and, under the guise of showing her some Paris travel books, got down on one knee and proposed.
