My Best Friend's Wedding

Important event number one: My best friends wedding. Lauren and I have been friends for many years. 24 to be exact. We grew up living next door to each other until she went to college in 2003. Five years later she came back to me! We rented an apartment and lived together for a year. During this year she fell in love with my other best friend, Brad. It didn't take long for Brad to move in. Describing that year as fun would be an understatement. 
It also didn't take long for Brad, Lauren and anyone who knew them to realize that they were meant for each other He proposed and they got married in April, 2010. 
Let me back track a few years. The first time Lauren met Brad was not the year that we lived together. It was somewhere between 2006-2007 (depending on who you ask) when Lauren and I were drinking margaritas at a mexican restaurant. Brad, being the outgoing person that he is, walked over to our booth to introduce himself and his 100 friends that he was with. We all chatted for a little bit, exchanged numbers to hang out sometime and that was that. Lauren went back to college but Brad and I stayed in touch. For the next few years we became best friends which led to the day that Lauren and Brad reunited :) The rest is history.
