Congratulations, Lauren and Eli!

Lauren Vitt and her high school sweetheart, Eli Mireles, were married on Saturday, October 29th in their hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With family and friends from around the county including several members of the Yeske Buie team, Lauren and Eli enjoyed a beautiful ceremony and a fun-filled reception as they celebrated their first day as husband and wife. The reception was held at the National Aviary in downtown Pittsburgh which meant that in addition to the typical wedding traditions, Lauren and Eli had over 150 species of birds entertaining their guests! We hope you enjoy the following pictures of the joyful newlyweds and their unique, avian guest.

Lauren and Eli had an unusual wedding guest – a penguin named Goldie! As Pittsburgh Penguin fans, the couple felt Goldie was the perfect addition.

Lauren and Eli cut into their delicious cake – while Goldie had already left the party, two penguin cake toppers greeted the couple, instead.

Lauren and Eli were so grateful to have her Yeske Buie team members celebrate with them.

Everyone at the party, young and old, enjoyed dancing throughout the night.

To her great surprise, Lauren returned to the office to find a wonderfully decorated space; the incredible support of the Yeske Buie team put a huge smile on her face!
