Ashley and Matt got married on 8-8-15 and here is what she had to say about her big day!
“When I woke up that morning it was raining, and right away (even though it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day) I was worried. Both our ceremony and reception were supposed to be outside, in Matt’s dad's back yard. I ran a few last minute errands, and grabbed a coffee for the long day ahead of me. By the time my girls and I got to our hair appointment the rain subsided, and the rest of the day had a cloudy overcast. Which was perfect because it kept the sun at bay.
After all my bridesmaids, mom, and I got our hair and make-up done we were off to the house to get ready! Before I knew it, it was time to walk down the aisle to say my vows.
My dad passed away, so my brother walked me down the aisle in place of him. One piece of advice I was given was to take my time while walking down the aisle and look at all the faces of my family and friends, because the day goes by so fast.
I met my soon-to-be husband (he was so handsome) at the altar and immediately had a big ol smile on my face. Our ceremony was beautiful, but yet short and sweet, even my tough guy had tears in his eyes (aww).
After our ceremony, we took pictures and were ready to celebrate our nuptials.
Our reception was amazing! We had worked so hard the months leading up, and everything looked magical. We visited with all of our guests, ate our dinner, and enjoyed the rest of the night with our loved ones. We even had some neighbor boys come over and try to crash our wedding.
One of my most cherished memories of the night was when my brother gave a speech, and in honor of my dad did the father-daughter dance with me.
It was so nice to remember him on my special day, and it was the finishing touch to our dream wedding.”
