Ashley & Dean
Wedding Party
Denise Holman
Bridesmaid
Denise is Ashley's sister-in-law and has become one of her closest friends. She has been married to Ashley's brother, Stuart, for 12 years! They have two adorable children, Max (7) and Esme (4). Denise is the hostess with the mostest; hosting all of the Holman family gatherings and feeding everyone. She has the patience and energy of 10 people, is a DIY master, and oozes style and grace, which will all come in handy on the big day! Ashley is so grateful to have her as a sister and couldn't imagine her big day without Denise by her side.
Meredith Bilodeau
Bridesmaid
Meredith is Dean's younger sister, and they have shared all their family's traditions, milestones and celebrations together. Ashley and Meredith have bonded over many visits to the Boston area and all of her wedding festivities this year! Ashley is so happy to have another awesome sister-in-law. Especially one as kind, generous and fashion-fluent as Meredith! Ashley couldn't imagine her wedding without Meredith in it!
Stephanie Salisbury
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is Ashley's cousin and oldest friend. They, along with Ashley's brother, Stuart, spent a lot of their early childhood weekends together playing with ninja turtle action figures, flashlight tag, and trying (and failing) to play tennis with the adults. Every kid wanted to be a marine biologist when they grew up, but Steph actually went to school for marine biology! Obviously she's very smart, as well as a skilled swing dancer and race car driver! She can get us to the church on time and help us tear up the dance floor! Cowabunga!
Meredith Bruce
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Meredith met at the gym! They bonded over a mutual dislike of bear-crawls and a love of dogs and half-priced-burger-Thursdays at Lowdown in Charleston, SC. Meredith has been there for Ashley during some tough times and some of the happiest times. She was with her in Key West when she met Dean! Being team-Dean from the start, she and Casey threw Ashley an island-themed going away party when Ashley moved to San Diego. She and her husband, Kevin, recently got married in Aruba and Dean and Ashley were lucky to be able to celebrate with them! Ashley feels so fortunate to have her as a friend and excited she'll be a part of the big day!
Casey Bowers
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Casey also met at the gym! She is way more outgoing than Ashley and they quickly became friends. She and her husband, Rick, host the best oyster roasts and Thanksgiving pre-game parties. Ashley and Casey bonded over wine and cheese nights, brewery happy hours and late night pizza and wings (plum wings) from Paisanos. Like Meredith, she's been there for Ashley during some tough times and great times. As previously mentioned she and Meredith co-hosted an island-themed going away party for Ashley at her home on James Island. Ashley feels so lucky to have Casey as a friend and excited to have her by her side for the big day!
