Loving Each Other from #ThisDayForWard

Lauren Raffaele and Connor Ward met in high school at Legacy Christian Academy in Frisco, Texas, but their love story did not begin until they reconnected after college. They ran into each other in Dallas and started dating soon after!

The location where the couple held their ceremony was very special to them. Lauren and Connor have attended Park Cities Presbyterian Church for a long time and have received significant guidance and counsel within its walls. So on the evening of September 19, 2020 Lauren walked the aisle of this church anxiously awaiting meeting Connor at the end!

After the ceremony, the party made its way to the Tower Club for an elevated celebration, literally! The club had sweeping views of Dallas which allowed for the couple and their guests to feel as though they really were on cloud nine.

The decor was tasteful and elegant which complimented the bride’s striking Anne Barge dress. Her dress had clean lines and sleek contours which defined the off-the-shoulder sheath complete with a criss-cross back. Lauren and Connor spent the entire night mixing and mingling with their guests who were there to celebrate them from #thisdayforWard.
