Jake and I just got back from an awesome Fine family reunion over the weekend, and I already wish I could go back! I know that some people dread family reunions, but I have been blessed with an incredibly special and close knit family that I can’t get enough of. There are nine of us Fine cousins, and we were all born within about 10 years of each other, so we have a cousin bond that is truly something special. I love my family SO much.
In 2010, three more amazing people joined the ranks of our fam… Jake, my brother Carl’s wife Summer, and my cousin Allie’s husband Neil. (Yeah, three Fine weddings in one year, it was quite epic!) Joining the Fine family is a pretty big deal, but Jake and Summer and Neil have fit right in and only added great things to our family dynamic.
So imagine how excited we all were when my cousin Alex proposed to his girlfriend Lauren just a week before this reunion!! Woop woop! Lauren is seriously an amazing woman, one who loves the Lord and cares intensely for the people in her life. I honestly couldn’t dream of someone better for Alex. She brings out the best in him and I’ve never seen him happier than this weekend with his family and his fiance by his side! They are a beautiful couple both inside and out, who want to serve God with their lives and invest in the lives of those around them. Lauren is the perfect next addition to the Fine fam!! We took a group photo the last morning of the reunion, and we didn’t have much time after but I just had to snag a couple photos of Alex and Lauren. (Seriously, we did a mini photo shoot just under 10 minutes!) And I wanted to share a few because I’m SO excited for these two and this new journey they are embarking on together :)
Well done Alex, welcome to the family Lauren, and bring on the next Fine wedding!!! XO
