lauren & tony

oooh man am i excited for these two!! i met lauren in photography school back in 2003, and we were friends ever since. we both graduated, she moved home to quincy, illinois and i moved back home to cincinnati. LUCKY FOR ME (and her) she met tony, who brought us back together!! after two or three years, of not seeing lauren, i meet tony! he was moving to cincy, knowing no one... so we welcomed him with open arms. after a long drive from wisconsin, i made him stay out till 4 am to explore all that cincinnati had to offer! (pretty much bars & skyline chili) *i'm sorry i made you stay up and out all night*

tony was of course awesome, and i couldn't wait until lauren moved down to tell her all about it! they had a long distance relationship up until cincinnati, and i was the one who got to watch their love grow.... cheesy i know, but so true! ...moving on 1.5 years and tony tells all of my friends he is going to propose to lauren... HELLOOO! i guess tony knew not to tell me... luckily my friends can't keep secrets so about two weeks later i find out, and good thing because EVERY phone call from lauren, i got a little excited and would scream before answering "LAUREN'S ENGAGED!!" i think i did that for two months.... now they are officially engaged, happy and getting married in july!! i'm packin' my bags, headed to quincy, and enjoying this wedding as a guest. thank you kids for being my friend.

lauren has some pretty eyes

tony has some very handsome eyes

don't you just love these two!?
