The Proposal: Lauren and Ryan met in Chicago July of 2008 just before both moving to Kansas City for school; Ryan for Law School and Lauren was going for her Master’s degree in Speech Pathology.
The couple bonded over their similar upbringings, supportive families, and dedication to studying. He became her home away from home.
Fast forward to June of 2013, and Lauren was moving into the house she bought in Kansas City, MO. It was very early in the am when Ryan and Lauren walked into the house, and Lauren was shocked to see a display of flowers and champagne on the kitchen counter. Family is the center of their world and that was the moment Ryan asked her to start a new family with him. She said yes!
After the proposal, Lauren already knew her mom and sister were flying in from Chicago to help with the move, but Ryan went the extra mile and asked Lauren's Dad to fly in for the special occasion. Allowing the newly engaged couple to celebrate with MOST of their immediate families.
The Wedding: Lauren and Ryan got ready at The University Club of Chicago surrounded by friends and family. The classic event was planned by Mike Koenig of Amor Events. Lauren's makeup was by Lauren Nicole and her hair was by Maritza from Bride Style Beauty. The bride's gown was by Watters, shoes by Ann Taylor Bridal, diamond stud earrings borrowed from her mother, and a necklace gifted by her father. The Bridesmaid's wore Jenny Yoo from Nordstrom Bridal Boutique, with earrings by J.Crew while the Groom and Groomsmen wore suits from Men's Warehouse. The floral arrangements were by Phillips Flowers. Invitations were made by Clark Stationary, programs & place cards by With Grace. After Lauren and Ryan got ready, they got to see each other for the first time and have a sweet little moment. Then we headed outside for photos with the whole bridal party. After all the photos were taken we arrived at Old St. Pat's Church for the ceremony. Following the ceremony we returned to The University Club of Chicago for the reception. The Club catered dinner and made the wedding cake as well. Dinner music provided by ARTSTRINGS, and dancing music by the Chris Sarlas Orchestra.
Congrats Lauren and Ryan!
