Lauren & Cory
June 22nd, 2024
Our Story
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon.
Lauren was looking for some wine, trying to consume.
She decided to take a plunge and meet up with Cory
And that, ladies and gents, was how we started our story.
They kept hanging out, almost every night.
After months and months, everything seemed right.
Hank and Frank met each other and after a barking fit.
Cory got on one knee and said, "let's do this sh..." "will you marry me?"

FAQs
How am I supposed to get there?
Great question! We recommend flying into Santa Barbara Airport or into LAX. The drive from LAX is about 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic, so renting a car is recommended unless you really like sitting in an Uber.
Ok, I'm here. Where am I supposed to stay?
Great question! We recommend the El Encanto hotel, the Santa Barbara Inn, and the Lavender Inn By The Sea.
I'm in Santa Barbara. Now what?
Great question! We will have a trolley taking folks to/from the SB Wine Collective and the SB Courthouse. These will run approximately every 30 minutes.
I got here on Friday and am super thirsty. What now?
Great question! We're going to host a casual get together. Come have a drink with us! Details to come later.
Ok, so we're in Santa Barbara and we have a hotel, but we need to know what to wear.
Was there a question in there? Regardless, the boss said you have to wear Garden Party Chic, whatever that means. Let me help you https://www.google.com/search?q=garden+party+chic+wedding+attire.
Did you register anywhere?
Great question! Nope, and we aren't going to. Seeing your faces is enough of a gift for us! Well, most of you...
Is this Garden Party Chic wedding adults-only?
Great question! Yep, mostly with a few exceptions. Look, our kids are only invited because they're in the wedding. We love your kids, but feel free to take that weekend away and spend some quality "you" time together. You know you want to. Hubba hubba.
Things To Do
Urban Wine Trail
If you're into wine, and you likely are since we're friends, check out the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail. We personally can't think of a better way to get to know Santa Barbara than by drinking your way through it. Chances are you'll see us at one of the stops!
Hiking
If you're one of "those" people that likes hiking, we hear SB has amazing places to hike. Check out the Santa Ynez Mountains or take a day trip to the Channel Islands National Park for some premier hiking spots and amazing views of the city.
Beaches & Parks
If you want to check out where Cory popped the question and where Cory almost popped the question, look no further than the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Butterfly Beach.
Go hang with Oprah
While we don't recommend stalking Oprah, she does live in the next town over called Montecito along with numerous others you've likely seen on TV. Head over to the Montecito Coffee Shop and you might spot the Queen of all media sharing a Clevr latte with the Prince of England.
Go try to see some whales
As seen in the picture above, the Double Dolphin is an amazing way to see the California coast, the sunset, Lauren's pretty face, and maybe some whales if you're lucky. Be sure to bring something warm as it can get chilly at night!
