Hey there, party people! Today, we’re diving into a heartwarming tale of love, goofiness, and an unforgettable wedding celebration that took place at the iconic Paper Mill on the Landing, right in the heart of Fort Wayne’s favorite downtown block. Hold on tight because this love story is one for the books!

 

Love at First Sight!

Once upon a time, in a beautiful historic industrial building, two souls crossed paths and fell head over heels for each other. It was love at first sight! Lauren, a bubbly and outgoing spirit, was working at a charming restaurant in Fort Wayne, where fate decided to play its magical hand. Enter William, the engineer with a heart of gold. He wandered into Lauren’s restaurant one day, and as soon as their eyes met, sparks began to fly. William found himself irresistibly drawn to Lauren’s infectious laughter and carefree spirit. He couldn’t resist returning to the restaurant, not just for the delicious food, but also to catch a glimpse of who he already knew was the love of his life.

Now, here’s the twist: you might expect Lauren to be the one in charge of planning the wedding, right? Wrong! In a hilariously delightful turn of events, it was actually William who took on the role of “wedding planner” between the two (yes, you read that right!)  Why, you ask? Because in Lauren’s carefree nature, she couldn’t quite wrap her head around the seriousness of wedding planning. But fear not, their quirky dynamic only makes their love stronger! And so, the big day arrived, and the couple exchanged their vows, surrounded by the rich history of the building and the love of their friends and family. It’s clear as crystal that it was a match made in heaven.

 

The Food Deserves its own Mention

Club Soda catered an exquisite dinner that left everyone raving for the whole night and even still, days afterward. The menu featured mouthwatering salmon and filet, accompanied by delectable desserts that had everyone’s taste buds dancing with joy. Seriously, Dustin says it was the best wedding dinner he’s had all year!

 

Come on Barbie, Let’s Go Party!

After the heartfelt ceremony and scrumptious dinner, the fun was far from over! The couple and their wedding party embarked on a downtown adventure, capturing portraits and sunset photos. But that’s not all—hold onto your hats—because their wedding weekend happened to coincide with the release of the Barbie movie! Talk about perfect timing! The Mercado restaurant came to the rescue with a Barbie box setup that turned into a photobooth frenzy. Everyone—yes, everyone—took their turn in the box, striking poses and making memories to last a lifetime. How very stereotypical Barbie of them?

 

And so, this fantastic love story came to a close with a wedding day filled with love, laughter, and a whole lot of joy. The Paper Mill on the Landing served as the backdrop to this charming tale of two people who couldn’t be more perfect for each other. May Lauren and William’s marriage continue to be filled with goofy moments, unstoppable laughter, and a love that grows stronger with each passing day. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness, fun-loving adventures, and endless memories.

 

Cheers,

-Dustin & Corynn
