Got to see my band this week for the first time since October. It did hit home though that there are so many bands and crews struggling right now in a major way. That means that every single time you hear it on the radio, stream it or download it, that money goes directly to bands and crews across the country who need it really bad.

As it turns out, though, Thomas and Lauren's love story almost never happened — and if it weren't for her dad, they might not be married today at all. Let's taking a look back at their relationship, and what helped them become the power couple we know and love today.
