Tim Branscomb proposes to Lauren Thomas in September 2019
Lauren Thomas: And I sent him screenshots just messin' with him, like, "You know, if you ever want to propose, like, these are rings that I like."
Scott Pelley: How did you meet?
Lauren Thomas: We actually met in high school. He was always looking for me, and I was always running the other way. Later on, we reconnected on Facebook. And I realized, like, ok, you know.
Tim, a 32-year-old security guard and Lauren, a Chicago health insurance administrator, set their date, December 2021.
Lauren Thomas: I called him Teddy, because he was just like a big Teddy bear. He called me Kitty. He was a big guy, 6'7", like, 417 pounds. On the surface it's, like, wow, oh, that's a big scary guy. But then when you go to know him, like, "Oh, you're just so cuddly."
