When I checked facebook the morning of Lauren and Akshay’s wedding, the first thing I saw was a status update from Lauren. I thought it would have said something to do with it being her wedding day, but it actually said “Happy Earth Day”. That is what I love so much about these two. They are so free-spirited and easy going and so much fun to be around. I love that I can joke back and forth with them like I can with any of my old friends. I remember when I first met Lauren and she told me she was designing her own wedding dress. It was so exciting to see the finished product. Lauren wanted to honor her mother’s memory by putting some color into her dress, since her mother wore a similar color on her own wedding day. I love that she thought to have her mom close to her in this way on her big day. Once it was time for the ceremony and everybody was seated, Akshay came down the aisle right after his best man and little french bulldog. Everyone stood for the bride and as soon as Lauren rounded the corner I heard him gasp and say “she looks SO beautiful”. It made me smile instantly. Isn’t that the reaction every bride wants out of her groom? That just set the tone for the rest of the ceremony and left me (and everyone else) grinning the whole time. After the ceremony everyone headed into the tent for the party! In between dancing Lauren and Akshay greeted their guest along side their very sweet (and cold) puppy! They also played the newlywed game and were asked some questions about each other. I think Akshay might have had a little too much fun playing that game, but he was a nice husband and put his own shoe up when it came to those questions that could put you in the doghouse if you answer wrong. It came to the end of the night pretty quickly and everyone lined up to send the newlyweds off. Lauren and Akshay ran through a tunnel of rose petals and were on their way to begin their new life together! Please take a look at their beautiful Earth Day Wedding!
