Lauren and Hayden were meant to find each other – there’s no doubt about that. They met the first night of the new college year, despite spending the summer telling friends they were taking a break from relationships that year, but couldn’t deny their connection for long. After managing to arrange a few group dates, they finally exchanged phone numbers and, last week, they made their trip down the aisle to exchange vows. The Texas weather didn’t quite cooperate to give us the glowy sunset that Lauren had hoped for, but instead got the dramatic fog that perfectly suited their just-married glow and her stunning dress.

Friends and family from Texas and Alaska and even from around the world gathered to toast the newlyweds, telling stories of fishing trips where Lauren surprised all the boys with her outdoor skills and danced the night away before sending them off toward their honeymoon is a sparkly way.

Here is their wedding story…

Venue: Canyonwood Ridge
