As the dawn cast her gentle light across the world on April 12, 2014, Lauren and Andy readied themselves for marriage. The couple met at a church group. Since that first meeting, their love and faith grew as their lives became more and more entwined in one another. For their wedding, they chose a morning wedding followed by brunch instead of the more traditional afternoon or evening ceremony.<\/p>\n\"Lauren<\/a>\n

Lauren\u2019s dress offered a stunning silhouette with a strapless corseted-style beaded bodice that flowed into a layered skirt. The bride\u2019s hair was braided into a half up-do with veil. Her bouquet brought together roses, ivy, snapdragons and more and was wrapped with a pink silk ribbon, lace and finished with a cameo surrounded with diamonds. Lauren\u2019s bridesmaids wore dusty pink dresses in different styles. Andy wore a black tuxedo with dotted tie while his groomsmen were fit to match.<\/p>\n\"Lauren<\/a>\n

For the exchanging of vows, the altar they stood before was dressed as eloquently as the couple with an extravagant bouquet of flowers and candles.<\/p>\n

During the reception a live band played. The tea party themed brunch included a wedding crossword and Mad Libs for their guests to fill out with personalized pencils that were provided. Guests were also given little boxes that said Have a treat and take your seat.<\/em><\/p>\n\"Lauren<\/a>\n

The couple\u2019s first dance was to Tonight<\/em> by JJ Heller. Afterwards the father and stepfather of the bride gave toasts. The bride\u2019s father joked that those who are married live longer because being married makes it feel longer.<\/p>\n

The wedding cake combined four layers of pink and white layers with the bottom layer mimicking ruffled roses, the third layer painted pink with white flowers, a second layer of gold foil frosting and the top layer finished with a tea cup and fresh flowers.<\/p>\n\"Lauren<\/a>\n

Before the bride and groom departed for their new life together, the bride changed into a pink dress with ruffled skirt. Guests shook sticks with pink and green ribbons and a bell on the end.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Lauren and Andy. May your faith and love for one another continue to blossom with each passing year. We wish you the best.<\/p>\n
