Following the honeymoon to Cancun, Mexico, the couple now resides in Starkville where Lauren is a teacher and Garrett is a Farm Bureau Insurance agent. The bride’s advice to future brides: “Be a woman with a plan. Planning for even the smallest things can help the day run more smoothly. For example, who’s taking home your wedding dress, cleaning up, or taking care of gifts that were bought? Also be sure to eat even if you have a nervous stomach ... it goes by really fast and not eating can cause low blood sugar and mood swings.”
