Maid of Honor
Lauren and Kristen met when Kristen shared her cheerios with her at their local church back when they were 4 years old. As special as it is to maintain a friendship with someone for the majority of your life, it is even more special that they are still best friends to this day. Lauren and Kristen have seen each other grow up, go through heartbreak, go through every single milestone, and come out on the other side stronger than ever. Kristen has always been in awe of Lauren and her charisma, selflessness, motivation, and empathy. Lauren has been a strong role model for Kristen throughout her life. Getting to experience all of life together and share memories to this day makes their relationship so special. Their mutual love of music led Lauren to become a music teacher! Currently, she is working towards a Masters degree so she can continue to positively change the lives of kids that we once were together. Kristen wants to thank Lauren for always being there for her and being a true friend. Kristen is blessed to have Lauren as one of her maids of honor for her special day.
