We met in our sophomore year of college, through a mutual friend! Lauren was at the gym for dance team practice, and Liam was also there working out with his buddies. He saw Lauren at the water fountain and thought she had a nice butt, lol. Little did he know, his friend knew her and later ended up setting them up on a blind date. We met at Starbucks, and ended up talking for 3 hours. Later that week we went on our first official date, to Waffle House! Another 3 or 4 hours went by and the rest is history!
We were on another one of our cabin trips with our friends in Gatlinburg, TN. The second day we made plans to go to the Pancake House for a nice breakfast, and then ride the gondola up to the sky bridge. When we all made it across the bridge, there was a viewing deck that was the perfect spot for pictures. We took turns taking each other's pictures and when we were about to head back, Kayla asked Lauren if she wanted another picture before we left. We stood next to each other, ready to snap a picture and Liam pulled out the ring and proposed!
The Venue at Cenita Vineyards holds a special place in our hearts and we're so excited to have our wedding there. When we had just started dating, one of the things we loved to do was visit all of the wineries up in the Dahlonega area. We went to Cenita one weekend and accidentally went to the venue instead of the tasting room. We both couldn't get over how beautiful it was, and what a perfect place it would be to have a wedding. Once we finally made it to the tasting room, Lauren spent the entire time staring over the hill at the venue, dreaming of getting married there one day. Now that dream is finally coming true!
