Our Wedding

Lauren grew up in Cedarville, Ohio and Simon grew up in Sacred Heart, Minnesota. Though they lived more than 800 miles apart, they eventually found each other at the Poelking Lanes Bowling Alley in Centerville, OH. Lauren won two out of three games and even though he claims a “back injury” as the reason behind the loss, it was that he wanted to see Lauren again for a rematch. The rest was history.&nbsp; 	Simon proposed to Lauren early fall of 2020 after the first day back to school. Of course, she said yes! Simon and Lauren are so happy that you’re excited about their upcoming wedding. This year, everyone needs things to celebrate, and they’re currently enjoying the newly engaged glow. They can’t wait to party with you—hopefully without masks, and with lots of hugs!

Things to Do

I met Alexa sophomore year at The Ohio State University on our sorority's "Bid Day." We realized we had so much in common with our love of Ohio State football, country music, and eating Cheezits at any time of the day. Alexa  is one of the goofiest, most loving, and honest humans I have ever met.

Alexa Mittica

Alexis and I met through our sorority at Ohio State. In fact, she became my "big sister."   We share countless memories together from sorority parties, various vacations, country concerts and spending entirely too much time at the AGR house. Being her "little sister" is on honor but comes no where near being my best friend.

Alexis Barclay

I've known Hayley my whole life (before masks were a necessity). In elementary school, we would played all the sports together and thought we "ruled the school." Now that we are out of school, Hayley continues to be a huge part of my life and has always been there for me when I need her.

Hayley Horney

MacKenzie and I went to grade school together at Cedarville. We were both cheerleaders and played volleyball together. We lived with each other after I graduated from Ohio State where we had way too many corndogs for dinner but so many amazing memories. 

MacKenzie Liming

Drew will serve as my best man. Drew and I met freshman year of college and joined the same fraternity- Delta Sigma Phi. We even roomed together sophomore and senior year. I am honored he will stand next to me on our special day.

Drew DiModica

Derek, another fraternity brother, will stand with me as a groomsman. We met my sophomore year and had many great memories at the Delt house. 

Derek Henning

Ben and I met at Ohio Northern University our freshman year. Ben was actually the door next to me in our freshman dorm. Though He moved to Evansville, IN, we still remain close friends to this day.

Ben Dunnavant

Ricky is yet another Delt fraternity brother. We also lived in the same hallway freshman year. (There seems to be an obvious pattern here with this freshman dorm and being a Delt.) He is a great friend and we are very excited he will be with us on our wedding day.

Ricky Foutz

Lucas is Lauren's youngest cousin. Lauren and Simon have various memories playing basketball, football, and anything sports related with Luke and the rest of the family. We are so excited for Luke to be in our wedding. 

Lucas Mossing

Kendra is also one of Simon’s nieces and is the second grandchild on the Kjersten side. Kendra loves to play with her toys, sing songs, and throw snowballs at her Uncle Simon. She will be an amazing flower girl!

Kendra Kjersten

Maci is Simon’s oldest niece and the first grandchild on the Kjersten side of the family. Maci loves helping on the farm, playing with her baby brother, and playing tricks on Uncle Simon. We are so honored she will be one of our flower girls. We love you, Maci!
