Lori Barry & Ronnie Laughlin

Our Story

Ronnie and I met about three years ago. He was my regular customer at Chili's. His friends always let me know that he was interested in me, however, I was in a relationship at the time. Once I did become single, I didn't run into him for over a month. But, when we finally did get in touch with each other, there were several late night conversations and a few dates before we got together. It was almost like an instant connection. Now, a year later we are planning this wonderful wedding. We are both thankful to have each other. He was a single father with three girls and a boy. I was a single mother with three girls and a boy. Since both of our exes are deadbeat parents and don't see our take care of their children, we were an instant family. Together, with our eight children, we plan on an awesome rest of our lives.

Our Wedding

Our wedding is April 10, 2010. We will be married in New Orleans, Louisiana aboard the Carnival Triumph. Since our finances are limited and the destination is so far from home, the guest list is limited to 20 people. Therefore, only very close friends and family will be attending. We are very fortunate to have a great number of friends and family who are as excited as we are about having them at our wedding.

Our Reception

There will be a reception following the wedding ceremony.

Travel Arrangements

Do to Louisiana State Laws, Ronnie and I will be flying out on Wednesday April 7, 2010 in order to obtain our marriage license. We will be staying at the Chateau Dupre Hotel in New Orleans on Wed and Thurs night. Then, on Friday, we will move over to the Hilton Garden Inn, where the wedding party will be joining us. Then, on Sat morning, we all head over to the port to board the ship. After our ceremony and reception, we will set sail on a seven day cruise to Belize, Isla Routan and Cozumel.
