Happy New Year!

And with that new year, we can finally say we will be married THIS YEAR!

It has been a busy past three months since we last posted in October, but we have a lot of updates. First of all, we would like to introduce our wedding party!

Maid of Honor: Lindsay Ogard

Lindsay is Lauren's sister and one of her best friends. She currently lives in Ann Arbor, MI and is going to University of Michigan for engineering. She also holds season tickets to the football games...better luck next year! ;)

Best Man: Adam Dunn

Adam is Rob's best friend since high school. He is currently living in Williamston, MI and going to Eastern Michigan University for Construction Management. No pressure...but we can't wait for his best man speech.

Bridemaid: Kaeley Olsen

Kaeley is Lauren's best friend from Ferris State University and on. Kaeley is currently living in Maricopa, AZ and shares Lauren's love for event planning. She will be making many trips to LA in the next nine months to help Lauren with what we do best!

Groomsman: Alex Ogard

Alex is Lauren's little brother (and taller than her). He is currently living in Williamston, MI and finishing his Junior year at Williamston High School. Go hornets!

Bridesmaid: Amy Miller

Amy is Rob's older sister. She is currently living in Williamston, MI and has two beautiful kids. We are excited to share the fun of Disneyland with Amy and her kids after the wedding!

Groomsman: Matt Eickhoff

Matt is one of Rob (and Lauren's) great friends from Ferris State University. Matt is currently living in Northridge, CA, working at Cal State Northridge and has the best game nights one could imagine.

Flower Girls: Angela Miller & Hailey Waurio

Angela and Hailey are both nieces of Rob's and soon to be (officially) Lauren's. Angela just celebrated her 8th birthday with Easy Bake Oven cakes and all. Hailey is the newest addition to the Halsey/Kipp/Waurio/Dabb/Creagh/Miller family and is working on polishering her walking skills before October.

Ring Bearer: Korey Miller

Korey is Rob's nephew and soon to be Lauren's. He can't wait to learn from Uncle Rob how "everything in a car works."

Although these have been some busy months, the ball is still rolling! Here are a few exciting tasks we have accomplished since we last updated:

• Lauren's dress is ordered!
• Rob has picked out his wedding party attire.
• Both of us have our wedding bands picked out.
• Bridesmaids have ordered their dresses.
• Pastor Dean has agreed to come out for the wedding and marry us!

Stayed tuned for many more (frequent) updates to come! We will make sure to provide details about tickets and hotels very soon. Our engagement photo session with Keri Doolittle is taking place in less than a month in LA! Keri is flying out from Denver, CO to take our pics, so look out for more of her amazing work.
