Our Wedding

Once upon a time in the vibrant city of Richmond, a newcomer named Lauren arrived at VCU, feeling a little lost and friendless. Enter Ben—a charming, magnetic guy who was friends with Lauren's roommate. Their story began in the most modern way possible: a FaceTime call where Ben, with a playful grin, declared, "I’ll be your friend!"&nbsp; Fast forward to Halloween night, where their paths finally crossed in person, setting off a whirlwind friendship that would last two and a half unforgettable years. They were the dynamic duo, sharing laughs, secrets, and endless advice on everything from life to love. Picture them taking a summer math class together, as Ben finally mustered the courage to confess his feelings. But fear of ruining their beautiful friendship held them back, and they decided to stay just friends—at least for a little while. As winter approached, the spark between them became undeniable. In a heartwarming twist, Lauren discovered that the feelings were mutual. And just like that, friendship blossomed into a love story for the ages. For the past four and a half years, they’ve been navigating life together, hand in hand, dreaming of their future. Now, with wedding bells on the horizon, they can’t wait to write the next chapter of their adventure together!
