LAUREN, TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOVE STORY.

Jordan and I initially met through mutual friends when we were teenagers. About seven years ago, we met again at a friend’s birthday party in a bowling alley. Jordan compleimented my bowling shoes and we started dating!

I wanted to look sexy and romantic and that’s exactly how I felt on my wedding day! I loved having my mom, sister, and best friend at True Society by The White Dress in Beaverton. We were the only ones in the store, so all the True Crew stylists watched and it was really fun. My husband LOVED my gown, Essense of Australia Style D3066. He couldn’t help but stare at me on our wedding day!

IN YOUR OWN WORDS, TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.

One of our first couple getaways was to Hood’s River in Oregon, and we had always talked about getting married there some day. My husband’s family is Italian, and I love Italy, so I’ve always wanted a wedding with an Italian flair. We found the perfect location at The Ruins. We had Italian food served for dinner during the reception! The whole wedding weekend with all our friends and family was so special.
