Earlier this year Lauren emailed me to inquire about my availability for their wedding. She said her fiance was very busy all the time, so it would be best to meet at his restaurant. When I arrived it was quite my surprise that the fiance was Jerry. He was in my graduating class from Langham Creek High School. Gosh Houston is big – and sometimes it’s not. As a photographer, I’m always playing 7 degrees of separation – there’s always someone who knows someone.
I was surprised he recognized me, I mean I was the quiet nerd that was mostly in the darkroom. He and his twin brother Jerry were the funny and outgoing track athletes. But see Jerry one of those people that never forgets a face and always flashes a smile, and Lauren being so sweet and having great sense of humor herself – I just knew it was a great match.
That feeling was compounded x1000 the day of their wedding. I can’t recall how many time’s I’ve told my computer screen… “they’re sooo cute!” while processing their images. Jerry loves fishing, and Lauren loves being by his side. One day on the lake, he boldy told Lauren – I think today will be the biggest catch of my life. I’m sure Lauren sorta rolled her eyes at that one. Later, Jerry told Lauren to get something out of this tackle box, and he proposed to her as she found her engagement ring inside.
It was only appropriate then that they get married on the lake. At the house of great family friends, everyone pitched in the week before the wedding to clean things up, put new flowers in, and get the deck ready. Family and friends casually gathered around the waters edge to witness the sunset ceremony. It was perfect, people teared up – they chuckled. It was love all the way around.
Thank you Lauren and Jerry for inviting me to be part of your day. I know that you are both beautiful people inside and there is no doubt in my mind that great things lie ahead for you both.
