SPOILER ALERT. Lauren and Aidan rule. The above is a photo from the morning AFTER this beautiful wedding {see below}. But I just wanted you to know what we’re dealing with here: Pure. Awesomeness.
These two met on the slopes, and skiing and snowboarding remains one of their favorite activities together. They even honeymooned in Switzerland with MORE snow. So The Equinox Resort in Manchester, VT in winter was a natural choice for these guys- and boy was it beautiful up there. Now, I’m a notorious hot-weather lover myself, but Vermont is breathtaking in winter, and once properly outfitted {thank my outdoorsy husband} Christine and I had THE BEST time romping around the snow banks photographing these two. Lauren is possibly the coolest chic you’ll ever meet: I couldn’t get enough of her vintage fur shrug and her WHITE LL Bean boots. Girlfriend was NOT afraid of getting outside in the snow in her ruffles and she commands my utmost respect. The fun didn’t stop there; this elegant white and green reception was juxtaposed with the BEST 80’s band you’ve ever heard: to which Aidan & Lauren’s friends fully embraced. Bandannas were worn, air guitars were played, and Jesse’s Girl was sung at the top of our lungs. This crew clearly was ecstatic to celebrate this couple, and I can see why. They are fun, generous, truly love their family and are beyond sweet together. Take a look.

AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING. We hit the slopes! Relatively early too: Lauren & Aidan, were you guys hungover?! I didn’t even ask. You couldn’t tell. We were OBVIOUSLY the talk of the mountain, with people yelling congratulations from the chair lift as these two WHIZZED down the mountain. We took a couple runs {I ran down in my boots as I didn’t trust myself with my equipment ON skiis…PLEASE enjoy that mental image of me RUNNING off the chair lift, haha}
Jon, my husband, joined us for some sweet video action, see below! And The Huffington Post saw my instagram of Lauren on the slopes and contacted us for a story. I emailed her in Switzerland: “HAPPY HONEYMOON YOU’RE ON HUFFPOST!” And she was able to do the interview from oversees! So yeah, Good weekend.
