Andrew and Lauren met at a cookout. “It was truly love at first sight for me. We both were in the hospitality industry and wanted to have our own business one day. After three months of talking, we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend.”
A year into dating, Andrew and Lauren got engaged. “He proposed on a random Tuesday night in our living room. It was honestly the most romantic thing ever. It was just the two of us and so special. Rose petals everywhere and our song playing in the background.”
A sixteen-person wedding party helped Andrew and Lauren celebrate their October nuptials. “Our ceremony was short and sweet and super laid back just like both Andrew and I. We wrote our own vows, prayed together and our officiant was a family friend so she was able to really personalize it for us.”
The couple chose a color palette of red and gray for their wedding decor. “We were engaged for three years so I had a lot of time to plan every detail. Andrews’s family is Arabic so we had a few traditions that we incorporated into our wedding. We were able to hire a DJ and have him play some Arabic music and then surprised our guests with a belly dancer.”
Andrew is a chef and Lauren is an infant teacher. They reside in Fairfield, Pennsylvania.
