ELKHART -- Lauren Nicole Herrli and Brian Lee Warner exchanged wedding vows on July 25, 2009, at Calvary United Methodist Church. Pastor Laurence Smith officiated. An outdoor reception followed at the home of the bride's parents, Timothy and Susan Herrli of Elkhart.

The groom is the son of Jack Warner of Columbus and Paula Moore of Elkhart.

The bride's brothers, Tanner and Trevor Herrli, both of Elkhart, were bridesmen. Groomsmen were Bret Miller of Elkhart and Toby Dowd of Sacramento, Calif.

The Warners honeymooned in Las Vegas and now reside in Indianapolis.

The couple met in high school and continued dating for eight and a half years. A memorable fact about the couple is that the engagement ring was hidden on a Christmas ornament.
