Ashley got ready at the home she grew up in.  The Christmas tree, stockings and family pictures from when she was a baby adorned the walls.  It was such a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing morning getting ready for her big night.
Eventhough many things were happening upon the arrival at Cullen’s Ashley was so cool and calm throughout it all.
Brad was waiting for her on an orange couch up by the most dramatic table in the restaurant.
He had helped her select her dress and today was the day he was going to see her in it and she was going to become his wife.
The first look was simple and sweet.  Brad could not stop smiling…and neither could Ashley.
They both calmed down even more upon their meeting, and the rest of the day went off in a manner that was 100% Brad and Ashley, with BEAUTIFUL words for the ceremony, BEAUTIFUL songs and scriptures and yummy food, cupcakes, s’mores and conversation.

Some of Ashley & Brad’s memories from the day:

Q. What was your favorite part about the wedding?
A. The entire day was wonderful! From spending time with close family and friends while getting ready for the day to getting married by my awesome uncle to celebrating with everyone at the reception!

Q. What was one quirky of crazy thing that happened on your wedding day?
A The wedding coordinator for the venue didn’t come into work and we didn’t realize that the venue hadn’t started preparing the ballroom until we arrived a few hours before the wedding. Everything turned out beautifully, but it was a little stressful before the ceremony.

Q. What was the most special moment on your wedding day?
A. Ashley – Marrying Brad! When my Dad walked me down the aisle to Brad it was so surreal. It felt like we were the only people in the room, but we were surrounded by all our families and friends. Also I was honored and so happy to have a family friend sing at the ceremony!
Brad – When Ashley walked through the doors down the aisle towards me.

Q. Did you do anything yourself?
A. We added all the little details to the candy/cupcake table and designed the programs.

Q. What was the one thing you were most excited about your registry? Did you get it and did it live up to the hype?
A. Our silverware and dishes from Crate and Barrel. They are great!

Q. Where will you be as a couple in five years? Hopes, dreams, kids, etc.?
A. I am not sure, really wherever God leads us.

Q. What do you look forward to the most about being married?
A. Just continuing to love on each other daily and still doing fun date nights!
