The groom is the son of a great family who happens to own a jewelry store----- the bride from Oklahoma, story has it that when they met sparks flew -----and they knew.
Matter of fact, their first dance was "You Had Me From Hello".......... which pretty much tells their fairy tale right there! Andrew's Mom and Dad actually met Ashley first and had a feeling that this phenominal young lady was the one for their youngest son. The rest is, as they say, history!
The other star of the show on that day was a cherry red Corvette....................
That is Andrew's Mom Cindy helping Ashley to get ready, she is a doll and was SO excited! This Groom Mama knows how to throw a party!
She is lovely even before the makeup is complete!
The wedding was on the grounds of Andrew's family home, everything was just beautiful, pink raspberry and white. The bride's dad walked her down "the aisle". The aisle in this case was a very, very long walk down the stairs and around the pool, back to the area designated for the ceremony. Those long aisles in St. Louis churches don't hold a candle to the long route Ashley took!
When it was time for the exchange of rings, instead of the beautiful ring Ashley was expecting, out came the jewelers box with a candy ring pop! The minister asked, "is this the ring you want Ashley? You aren't married yet, you can speak up!" Of course, our smart girl said "NO!"
The newlyweds only minutes married
Woo Hoo!
Ashley and Andrew were absolutely beaming with joy (as all newlyweds should be!)
Isn't she beautiful? Ashley too!
Let the kissing begin.....
Etcetera..............
Oh yes! The bride ended up in the pool pretty early in the evening! What a wonderful sport, and we were all thankful that her lovely dress (which suited her so perfectly) dried very quickly.
Congratulations Ashley & Andrew----------------- you guys are the 'real deal' and we look forward to celebrating all of life's highlights with you both.
