Lauren Allen & Erik Wulfeck

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:56:04 GMT

Lauren and Erik’s relationship began while the two were students at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. The couple married in September 2010 at downtown Cincinnati’s stunning St. Xavier Church. As a surprise to their guests, the pair brought in local singer Peter Dressman, who gave an acoustic performance of Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah from a rear balcony of the church. The reception at The Cincinnati Club had the feel of an upscale nightclub, with colorful lights projecting decorative images of peacock feathers on the ceilings and cozy white lounge furniture placed on the outskirts of the dance floor.

Emily Edrington & Nick Taylor

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 23:49:02 GMT

Fate was not so kind to her Ohio State Buckeyes the night of Emily and Nick’s first date watching the big game with some friends (OSU was crushed by his USC Trojans). Fate, however, made the two a winning match. They married in August 2010 at the Bell Event Centre. Though the bride describes herself as the “least crafty person I know,” the already beautiful Bell Centre was filled with do-it-yourself items, including a cupcake stand, guest book, card book and CD favors that personalized the celebration even further.

Jennifer Hagen & Anthony Teufel
