Fisher’s Flowers and Events

Travis + Christin | Destin, Florida | Film

Two weeks ago, one of my very best friends in the whole world got married. Even as I sit here writing this, I am getting a little emotional because I am so very happy for Christin, she deserves every bit of happiness and I could not dream of a better life partner for her than Travis. I usually don’t write too much on blogs since i’m not really a writer, i’m more of a visual storyteller, but I want you to know something about my relationship with this wonderful person.

Christin and I go way back. For those of you who know me well, know that I attended a private school until I was 14 years old. Making the transition to a public high school can be scary for kids who have been somewhat sheltered. The first day of school, I wasn’t so much afraid, but more so just trying to blend in with everyone else and more importantly, not get run over by the upper class men rushing off to their 2nd period class. :) When I finally made it to the classroom, out of breath from lugging a tremendous bag and schedule of classes in hand, I grabbed the first open desk I could find.

“Hi, i’m Christin! What’s your name?”
As you can imagine, the rest of the conversation went something like “hello-how-are-you-my-name-is-Lauren-I-just-transfered-here-what-does-your-class-schedule-look-like-and-oh-I-have-that-class-too!”
The rest is history. Christin + her twin sister Catherine became like sisters to me. We went to every football game, prom, homecoming, beach day, sleepovers, and endless movie dates together. When we graduated high school, I can remember hugging Christin tight while we both cried, filled with memories of the last 4 years, and the excitement of years to come. And now that she is a married woman, I am looking forward to the next chapter of her life and what an amazing woman she has become.

Thank you Christin, for reaching out to me that day, and sharing in so much of your life with me. You will always be one of my most cherished relationships. To Travis: Thank you for being the wonderful man that you are and for taking care of my Christin. She loves you with all that she is. I will never forget the day she called me to tell me that she had met the most handsome, amazing person and that she knew she was going to marry you someday.
I love you both!
