Countdown: 255 - Maggie & Collin's Wedding!

Two weekends ago I traveled back to St. Louis to celebrate the marriage of one of my oldest friends and bridesmaid, Maggie. She married a wonderful Texas boy, Collin, and their wedding was absolutely beautiful. Not one detail was missed and everyone had such a blast.

Here are some photos from Maggie’s big day. How gorgeous is she?!

At the rehearsal dinner the wedding party all took turns to say something about the bride and groom. I wasn’t sure what I would say – there were almost 20 years to cover! But I just focused on our friendship through the years and how happy I am that we still remain friends.

I’m so happy for you Maggie! Being a part of your special day meant so much and I’m so happy you will do the same for me in May!

Countdown: 277 - Guest Post by Julie Ravensberg, MOH

Hi everyone!

I'm Julie, Lauren's incredibly pretty, smart and funny MOH. Some of you may also know me as Zoof. For that nickname, I thank Matt.

Lauren was a bridesmaid in our friends’ wedding this past weekend. During the wedding ceremony as I watched Lauren walk down the aisle, I got very excited and emotional.  Maybe it was the music, or the church or the general wedding atmosphere. Or maybe it was because I realized that in 9 short months (277 days) my BFF will be a MRS.

Little did I know 9 years ago when we were moving into the dorms at IU as freshman roommates that we’d end up best friends, sorority sisters and MOH’s in each other’s weddings. Who would have thought that my boyfriend’s confirmation sponsor would later be our daughter’s god-mother?! If the past 9 years have gone by this fast, then I know that the next 9 months will fly by!

I’m honored to be a part of Matt and Lauren’s big day and cannot wait until May 5 - It will be here before we know it!
