Our Wedding

Lauren &amp; Trent have known each other for as long as they can remember. In fact, Trent’s parents even attended Lauren’s parents’ wedding, which now feels like a sweet full-circle moment. Even with that early connection, they didn’t truly find their way to each other until adulthood. When they reconnected, it felt familiar in the best way — like coming home to someone you didn’t realize you’d been missing. They started dating in July 2019, and what began as a reconnection quickly became something undeniable. After years of living their own lives and dating other people, the timing finally aligned, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
