Our Love Story
Kristian and Lauren's story began on a night when neither of them had planned to go out. But fate had other ideas. At Friday’s, a lively bar filled with the hum of laughter and clinking glasses, they crossed paths. Lauren was instantly drawn to Kristian’s effortless confidence and the warmth he radiated, while Kristian couldn’t help but be captivated by the way Lauren’s smile seemed to light up the room. What started as a simple conversation between two strangers quickly blossomed into something far more profound. There was an ease between them that felt as if they had always known one another, as if they were simply finding their way back. From that night on, their connection deepened, and they knew their hearts had found a home. What began in a moment of spontaneity would soon lead them to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness together.

Bridal/Wedding Registry and Wishing Well
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! For those who have expressed an interest, we do have a registry — though many of the items have already been generously gifted (thank you!). If you’d still like to give something, we will have a wishing well on the day for contributions toward our future together. Please know that your love and support mean the world to us, and there’s absolutely no expectation.
