The Bengtson-Benkoski love story began ten years ago in a little town called Crystal Lake. Since day one we referred to ourselves as RB & LB and were instantly inseparable. For those of you who know Ryan, you will get a kick out of this. He asked me to go on our first date while we were on a late night McDonald's run (Yes, Ryan ate McDonald's back in the day). We chased each other all over the country to stay in touch. Ten years of memories later we made it official. Ryan dropped to his knee in downtown Chicago after a romantic carriage ride, courtesy of a horse named Emmasaurus. I was filled with more love and happiness than I could have ever imagined. Marrying your best friend is one of the best feelings anyone could ever ask for. We are excited to spend the rest of our lives together. We could not imagine our special day without you. See you in Hebron! Love, Lauren and Ryan
