While he may not be looking forward to getting all dressed up, you can bet you will find him tearing up the dance floor to the Cupid Shuffle!
Ashley Folkerts

The bride's best friend from the lake! It was always a blast having someone to play with at the lake, and even better now that we can see each other outside of vacations.
