“Me and Justin met at LA Tech in 2014 working out at the Lambright and have been friends ever since. We’ve had many fun and crazy times throughout the years, especially during college riding around on campus in the Tahoe “Slade Mobile” and nights out in Ruston. I feel honored to be apart of your big day!” - Alex

“Lauren… Where do i start? We met when some girl in high school told me she had met this fun group of girls, so of course I had to meet them. Soon after meeting them I really connected with this one girl. Little did I know, i was meeting someone that would show me so many things. She’s shown me how to give grace when needed, to love people just a little more on days when they need it, that not everyone has to like me & she let me know that it’s okay to be myself(no matter how weird that might be😂). But most of all, she showed me how to be the best version of myself! & at that point, she was stuck with me. She has always been a constant in my life, no matter how crazy it has gotten. She’s always been the one to love me on my worst days & be there on my best. No matter where life takes us, i’ll always be by her side.” - Raynie

Stormy Wingfield
Bridesmaid
“Birthday trip + burrito stand after a night out = besties for the resties I’ve known Lauren for close to half of our lives, but we didn’t get close until the summer of 2019. She became such a constant in my life and has listened to so many tears and fears. If you know anything about me and Lauren you know that literally NO ONE saw this friendship coming, and I think that’s the best part of it all. We’re the best friends who have to cover each other’s mouths before we say something crazy. We’re also the best friends that would do anything for anyone we love. She has made me a better person and a more vulnerable person, and I’m so thankful to have her in my life. I’m so excited to be a part of her big day and stand beside her when she marries the love of her life.” - Stormy

Bridesmaid
“It all started over the Bible and a po-boy. My life before Lauren is sort of a blur. It quite literally started in our adolescence years over our shared love for Jesus and Magic Grill po-boys. I started attending church at North Crossings in Monroe, where Lauren and her family attended. With a youth group of about ten to twenty teenagers, all relatively attending the same school, you can imagine it wasn’t long before we were inseparable. It was only a matter of days before I had been ‘adopted’ into Lauren’s family and labeled as one her ‘little sisters’. Through out those years, Lauren Grace has loved me, supported me, nurtured me, protected me, and guided me. She has loved me when I was right, and loved me even harder when I was wrong. Knowing Lauren is to love Lauren. She embodies everything a woman strives to be. Intelligent, fierce, compassionate, determined, driven, and loving. It is an honor to stand beside such an incredible woman on the most spectacular day of her life! Congratulations to the bride and groom!” - Bri
