Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship… I’m in Journalism, working in Chicago, IL. With Chris working in Hospitality, I think one of the most unique things about our relationship is how strong it is. We’ve spent a great deal of time apart given our current work situations, and I think it’s made us even stronger as a couple.
What do you love most about each other? Lauren: He can always make me Laugh, make my day brighter when I’m down. Chris: She always makes me smile, even if I’m looking after her and she’s ill or sleepy, she’ll always find a way to make me smile and laugh.
Tell us about your special day… On the day, our family decided to surprise us with a totally different car to the one we had in mind. We rode in a 1957 Chevy Bel Air, sipping on Veuve Cliquot. Also the cake! We didn’t have anything in mind for a wedding cake, but we were surprised by a cheese board the size of a table for dessert!
What were some of the most memorable/unique moments of the day?Lauren: First seeing the car, and also the photos taken outside of Eichardt’s Hotel, I’ll remember those forever. Chris: The Moment she walked down the stairs in her dress, My Jaw dropped and I was just amazed. I’ll remember that.
Any advice for other couples planning to spend the rest of their lives together? Lauren: Don’t let other people make the experience about them, this is YOUR day. Chris: Try not to stress on the day, and it’s cliche, but when you know, you know.
What does being married or being in a union mean to you? And what is married life like so far? Being married means having complete faith in your partner, and always having someone to make your day better when you’re feeling down.
