Tristin Woods, Laurens fiancé unexpectedly passed away in a car accident one month before their wedding day
To honor him she decided to do a memorial photo shoot in her wedding dress
“Today is my wedding day. On October 11th I didn’t just lose Tristin, I lost the life we’ll never live together, I lost all of the children we’ll never have and all of the grandchildren we’ll never get to spoil, I lost my other half.”
“July 11th 2014 was the day Tristin put a ring on my finger and we announced our engagement to be married. Our love was pure and real and strong. We were one.”
“We met at a church potluck. I was walking to my car, and he said: Hey wait. I just wanted to tell you that you are the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I felt like I was in a movie. It was just perfect.”
“He would call me and if I didn’t answer he would leave these little voicemails of his pocket noise. I have like twenty of them, but I love it now, because it’s HIS pocket noise.”
“I’m so grateful that I got to be with Tristin and that he got to be with me.”
“God was good to me when he sent you. You brought my life so much joy and love.”
“You have now turned into my very own guardian angel to protect me and comfort me for the rest of my life.”
“There aren’t words to describe the agony my heart feels at this moment. There aren’t always explanations for tragedies like these, but I have faith that God will get me through this.”
“Rest in peace baby, all my love.”

Lauren, you are beautiful and brave. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'll keep you in my prayers. <3
It's amazing how you can keep faith in a god who took the love of your life away from you. It seems so cruel, why would a god allow it? I would be raging!
Its also amazing how God would give up his one and only son for people like us. Let us believe what we believe.

Maybe I am not being objective now, but... this all doesn't look like eternal sorrow. In my eyes it looks like 'Hey, look at me, I lost my love of my life, but I am arranging this photosession anyway to get some attention from public'.Wtf. Why would you post such pictures like this?!
