Congratulations, Lauren & Brennan!

Lauren Marie Laudan and Brennan Michael Burns were joined in matrimony on August 22nd at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Redemptorist Catholic Church in Kansas City, Missouri. The bride is the daughter of Tammy and Kenneth Laudan of Leawood, Kansas. Her groom is the son of Jennifer and Brian Burns of Houston, Texas.

The evening prior, the groom’s parents hosted a rehearsal dinner at Indian Hills Country Club. Following the ceremony, the bride’s parents fêted the couple with an intimate wedding dinner at Mission Hills Country Club. Amy Cosgrove served as the maid of honor, and Colin Burns, brother of the groom, was the best man. The happy couple is at home in Fairway, Kansas, where Lauren is a reading specialist with the Blue Valley School District, and Brennan is employed with Burns Consulting Group. Lauren and Brennan are planning a formal reception in May, followed by a honeymoon in the Turks and Caicos Islands. 

 

The newlyweds grew up just blocks away from each other in Mission Hills. Their mothers used to have lunch together and dream of the day their cute kids might get married to each other!
