Words cannot describe how happy my heart is that these two are finally married. Peter and Ashley have known each other since they were babies. Their parents are best friends and have been spending their summers up at Pine Grove for as long as they can remember even though Peter and his family are from North Carolina and Ashley’s family is from San Jose, CA. Ashley eventually found herself on long phone calls with Peter while they were on opposite ends of the country. And then Peter moved to San Jose to finish school. Love was most definitely in the air. Peter proposed to Ashley at Pine Grove, where their families had spent all those summers together. Their love story is so sweet and precious. Ashley has a heart of gold and is stunning on the inside and out. Peter is so sweet and calm and loves Ashley with everything that he has.
I remember getting my first e-mail from Ashley which seems like ages ago now inquiring about her wedding. We had never met, but knew mutual people because of church. So Justin and I had these two over for dinner to talk about wedding things. What turned out to be like a 5 hour affair, we spent the majority of our time talking about life, love, and all the little sweet things…and very little about wedding photography. Peter and Ashley instantly became friends. We found ourselves going out for Thai food together, shopping, and going to the dog park with Milo. I can honestly say that Ashley has become a dear, sweet, close friend and I’m so thankful for her cheerfulness in my life, and her love for the Lord makes her even more beautiful than she already is.
There aren’t even words for how beautiful this wedding was an for all the love that was present. There is something so special about two families coming together to celebrate two hearts becoming one. Peter and Ashley come from incredible families that love their children like there’s no tomorrow. They make you feel like family when you’re around. I’ll just stop talking so you can see for yourself how amazing this wedding really was!
Peter and Ashley, I can’t even tell you how happy I am for the two of you and the way your lives honor the Lord shows in everything that you do. I’m so excited to see the great things He has for you..and for the beautiful babies you’ll make
Love you guys! XOXO
