Ashley's Wedding

Well, I'm updating at work because my work computer is getting upgraded and everything I need to do has to deal with: my files that are on the server (that I can't get to on this one), need a scanner, or a printer. SO with my "free time" I am writing here.

2 weekends ago my best friend, Ashley, got married! It was a great 1.5 weeks of events leading up to the big day. I threw her a party where all her friends and ward girls came over and we had a nice relaxing night and made a lot of new friends.

 

The next day I went with Ashley and did her Bridal Photos. She had so many beautiful pictures and it was a good time laughing and seeing her shine in her dress. One of my favorite photos (I am sure she would disagree) is the one below:

 The next week I went to a shower that her sister was throwing for her family. It was a great time hanging out with her family and getting to know them better.

 

Then on Thursday before her wedding I threw her a Bachelorette Party that was a great time laughing with her family and friends. There were a lot of laughter in the house, poor Scott got to hear it all downstairs, and Ashley turning BRIGHT red.

On Friday we had a girls afternoon where her sister Amber, cousin Abby, Ashley and I went and got our nails done. It was another night of laughter and fun. I can pretty much guarantee that the nail salon was happy when we left because we were very loud. 

 

On Saturday was her wedding. Scott & I went and watched her nephews and her cousin's boys while everyone went to the temple ceremony. 

She was a gorgeous bride and the couple was happy as ever to finally be married. After the ceremony I helped with her photos around the grounds and then went to lunch at her place. After that we headed up to This is the Place State Park where her reception was held. We helped get everything set up and had a few minutes to watch the storms come into the valley.

During the reception we hung out with Matt & Amanda from work and watched them cut their cake, garter/flower toss, and their first dance being married. 

 

The night was fun and full of laughter and talking to friends from work. We got the bride out of her  dress and got her out of the building to go. The exciting part about the couple leaving is they spent their first night in their new home together. 

I wish Ashley & Eric the best marriage! Congratulations Ashley--you deserve it!
