Lauren and John met for the first time in January 2009. A mutual friend brought them together at a pub on a random winter’s night. It was a chance meeting because Lauren was only in town for a couple of days. It took John all night to get the courage to ask her for her number. And then it took him three days to call! That phone call led to one the next day and the next and the next. For a month they talked each day until Lauren moved back to Dayton. They’ve been together ever since. And one night, over bratwurst, John proposed. And Lauren said yes. That’s what I love about these two—Over bratwurst! There is such tenderness between them. And when they weren’t laughing or making goofy faces at one another, they were loving.
Jonah and I have been friends with John for a while. He is extremely talented and can play just about any musical instrument. He actually composed and performed music for our wedding day. Lauren compliments John perfectly. Together, they’re fun, genuine, and sweet as can be.
John was part of our wedding and now we’re shooting his. I love how things come full circle!
