He is the son of Michelle and Harold Kushins of San Ramon and the brother of Hilary Kushins of Oakland and Shari Kushins of Los Angeles. Grandparents are Beatrice and Morris Horwitz of San Francisco and Florence and Mitchell Kushins of San Jose.

The couple first met when they were infants. Lauren’s parents took her on her first road trip, to San Francisco, for her uncle Marc’s wedding. Benjie was there to celebrate as well, since his aunt Susie was marrying Marc. A little more than 23 years later at a bar mitzvah for Marc and Susie’s son, Lauren and Benjie met up again and took interest in each other. Five and half years later, after a move from Portland, Ore., to the Bay Area, the proposal took place.

Lauren arrived home to find a card on the outside of her front door with the words, “Follow your heart on a path of roses with 10 simple steps.” As she walked through the candlelit house, Cat Stevens’ “How Can I Tell You I Love You” was playing. She moved from station to station, following the instructions on each of the cards. The final card instructed her to put on a blindfold and sit on the edge of her bed, as Marc Cohen’s “My True Companion” played.

Benjie sneaked into the room and took her hand as Cohen’s voice sang, “I take your hand and watch my heart take sail.” The music continued with, “And with trembling fingers, I lift up your veil,” and Benjie lifted her blindfold. There she saw him, on one knee, with her grandmother’s engagement ring in his hand and he asked simply, “Lauren, will you marry me?” She accepted.

At the wedding, the maid of honor was Lindsay Yuré and the best man was Ryan Bernacchi. Chuppah bearers were Michelle Startt, Amy Smith, Adam Miller and Jessica Rosenburg. Bridesmaids were Hilary and Shari Kushins, Nicole Rechsteiner, Katelin Lewis-Kulin, Melissa Jones, Kerry Pal and Porche Lovely. Ushers were Moshe Lutz and Aaron Gross.
