Our Wedding

Our StoryWe first met through our shared passion for fitness—Lauren as a coach, and Dillon as an athlete. Workouts and training sessions developed into mutual respect and an easy, natural friendship. Rooted in this friendship we soon found our roles shifting from coach/athlete and training partners to something more meaningful, a relationship steeped in love, trust and encouragement of each others goals. We quickly learned to value our differences and use our individual strengths to compliment one another as true partners. After years of growing side by side and building a life together, we are so excited to celebrate the next chapter of our journey together—our wedding day!

From fitness to forever!

Whitney has been not only a best friend to me (Lauren) but a constant support and encouragement to us as a couple. She and her husband Ben have seen us through every stage of our relationship so far and I am so incredibly thankful she agreed to be by my side as Dillon and I "make this thing official!"

Ben has played various roles in my (Dillon) life over the years, becoming more than a friend, mentor and business partner but a part of my family. Thank you Ben for standing next to me through change, growth, and now hope for my future with Lauren.  Congrats to you and your bride, Shaelyn, for recently tying the knot as well!

Sherri and Wayne! Their gracious and sincere hearts match the beauty of their home, all of which they offered to us as the most wonderful gift...our wedding venue! With love of creating, hosting, and filling their home with family, we are so thankful to have been invited into both during this special milestone event. Thank you both for the years of friendship to Lauren and for so easily including Dillon into "your circle."

Justin and his wife Jessica came in to our lives in the timing and situation that was too perfect to be called “chance.” They have embraced us as a couple and have already been working in our relationship to support us as God has designed. We are so thankful for Justin to be leading the ceremony, and we are excited to see what comes next in this special friendship!
