Our Wedding

Their story began one Saturday morning at the Lincoln Racquet Club. Lauren spent most Saturday mornings helping her parents with the hustle and bustle of the gym, while Carter spent his mornings on the Lincoln Racquet Club's basketball court practicing with his 7th grade basketball team. Lauren and Carter met through a mutual friend one morning after practice, and quickly became best friends. Through the years, Carter and Lauren would remain close friends and Lauren would even mention from time to time "how great of a husband" Carter would make one day. Fast forward to their senior year of high school, they decided that it was time to take their friendship to the next level to see if it would work before they went their separate ways for college. Carter and Lauren started dating that February, and have been inseparable since. Over the last six years, they have celebrated many milestones together. They have traveled the world together, made lifelong friends, added two pups to the family and started their next chapter together by purchasing their first home in Omaha. On December 3rd of 2022, Carter got down on one knee in the living room of their home, declaring his love for Lauren and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. Lauren and Carter are over-the-moon excited to celebrate with their favorite people as they say "I do!" on December 30, 2023.
