Lauren captioned the post: “I am so overwhelmingly happy and grateful… not only because we met Bono last night (I mean…) but because I got to successfully surprise and celebrate this man I love so much with people we love so much for his big 50th #birthday!
“Thank you @hollywood_u2 for your incredible talents that made this party unforgettable! What a show most importantly: to dance and laugh with friends and family and feel so much love in the room – that’s what life is all about and I’m still on a high of joy.
“Swipe right for the @chrisbharrison surprise … though the last slide is my personal #favorite #happybirthday #thenifty50 #u2.”
