Lorren is married!
Photo to come….
A few months ago, I got an email from my UConn roommate, Lorren, that she was getting married to some guy named Kevin. I can’t believe that I’m the first of my friends to get engaged (except for Raney, but she was engaged when I met her) and it seems as if Matt and I will tie the knot after everybody else does. We are enjoying a long engagement. Anyways, this post is about Lorren: so she got married in Connecticut at the end of May and mentions in an email to me that her man is from Spokane and they’re having a west coast reception as well…..so Matt and I high-tailed it to Newman Lake to see a girl that I haven’t seen in over four years! Matt, growing up only an hour away, knew a whole bunch of people at the party–apparently small towns in eastern Washington really are that small. They had a really nice reception-I think there were more people there than will be at our wedding. Lorren’s cut her hair short (it used to be to her butt–she let me cut it for her once, and one inch turned into three…needless to say, I’m only allowed to cut Matt’s hair now) and she wore her wedding dress at the beginning of the party. It was beautiful! I will post the picture when I get a chance to. Her husband, Kevin, wore his army dress blues and the coolest army hat I’ve ever seen. It was like a cross between a cowboy hat and and Indiana Jones hat. He flies helicopters and apparently they arrived to the party in a friend’s helicopter. Quite in style! They changed outfits and there were some great toasts. The weather was perfect, the five cakes were all good (I tried them all)–I think my favorite was the Vanilla Cake with Lemon Curd. It was so great to catch up with her, she’s been busy putting her time in with the army and living in Austria. I think they are back in Germany now, as Kevin continues with the army, Lorren is applying for grad schools. They are so happy together and a great match. I’m so glad that this girl found a good guy–there are few of them out there. Salud!
