\"\"<\/a>Lauren and Sam, who met when they were student athletes at the University of Maryland, were married on November 11, 2017.<\/p>\n

Lauren chose a sophisticated sleeveless sheath dress with a plunging V neckline, jeweled belt detail, and sheer illusion back. Her accessories included a jeweled headband. Her bouquet was composed of a variety of white flowers accented with eucalyptus leaves. Her three bridesmaids wore full-length, off-the-shoulder red dresses with sweetheart necklines, and carried smaller versions of the bride\u2019s bouquet.<\/p>\n

Sam looked sharp in a classic tuxedo with black vest, black bow tie, black pocket square, and white rose boutonniere. His three groomsmen dressed to match him, with black straight ties instead of bow ties.<\/p>\n

At the ceremony, one of the bridesmaids spoke, and Lauren and Sam read personal vows to each other.<\/p>\n

Inside at the reception, guests ate salad with raspberry dressing, butternut squash ravioli, chicken, steak, and green beans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>During the speeches, Lauren\u2019s father said he\u2019s not losing a daughter, he\u2019s gaining a son. The best man, Sam\u2019s brother, said how proud he is of Sam and who he has become, and that he admires Sam\u2019s drive in sports and in his relationship. One of the maids of honor joked that she was Lauren\u2019s good luck charm because Lauren met Sam not long after she met Lauren. Another maid of honor talked about growing up with Lauren\u2019s family, and how grateful she was for their friendship.<\/p>\n

Sam and Lauren danced for the first time as man and wife to \u201cDie a Happy Man\u201d by Thomas Rhett. Lauren and her father danced to \u201cAs You Dance,\u201d and Sam and his mother danced to \u201cWhat a Wonderful World.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three-tiered all-white wedding cake featured a brushed frosting design, a cascade of fondant flowers, and a topper with the couple\u2019s last initial. The groom\u2019s cake was baseball-themed and had a topper of a groom pitching to a bride.<\/p>\n
