their careers on the rise, Clyde and
Lauren decided the time had come to
exchange vows.
“We always knew that we wanted
to get married on a ranch,” Lauren
said. “I happened to see an Instagram
photo of a friend of a friend of a
friend who had gotten married at the
Wildcatter Ranch.” All she could see
was the view.
When she first saw the photo, she
had no idea it was the Wildcatter
Ranch. “I researched,” she said. One
day, over breakfast they decided to
go and look at wedding venues. She
called the ranch and they offered to
meet with Clyde and Lauren that day.
Once they chose the venue, the
rest fell into place.
Lauren and her mother, (she’s the
amazing Tara Stark) made most of the
wedding plans together.
“Because I was my mom’s only
child, it was a huge deal for her
and me,” Lauren said. Of course,
Clyde was a big part of the plan-
ning process as well. He was still in
school, so many times they would do
the leg work and run the choices by
him.
Lauren and Tara, along with
Tara’s mother, Linda Stark went
bridal gown shopping on day. That’s
when they found “The Dress.”
“When I went to pick out my
bridal gown I had this idea of the
perfect bridal gown for me,” Lauren
said. Her vision was big, puffy with
layers and layers of lace, with tulle
and puff sleeves. She wanted a
vintage look. They walked into Birdie
Bridal near Eagle Mountain Lake and
Lauren immediately spotted her cloud
of a “dream gown.” It went into the
dressing room with nine other gowns.
“I just knew that would be ‘The
One,” she said.
But the first gown she tried on
was lace with a vintage look. It was
not the “big and puffy,” gown of her
dreams.
“It was lace and it was beauti-
ful,“ she said. She stepped out of the
dressing room and her mother and
grandmother were stunned.
Then, she tried on the lace
confection of a gown, the gown of
her dreams. She just knew that would
be the dress for her.
