As they journeyed through Cosmetology school together, their friendship began to blossom and continued to grow. After graduation Ashley and Lexi's friendship was a 'cut' above the rest. Despite distance and struggles, their connection deepened and their bond grew stronger, as they continued supporting one another's life and career choices, leading to a lasting and beautiful friendship.

A true testament to the power of shared experiences and Faith, with their families' attending the same church and that connection serving as a strong foundation. Ashley and Clarisa, as well as their families' have formed lifelong bonds that have only grown stronger with time, and while there are countless stories to share, some stories are simply to special to put into words plus they would fill a book.
Cassie Dennis (soon Conover)
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Cassie go way back - all the way to their infant years! They're cousins that are only 8 months apart and share a lifelong connection. Cassie is an all-around wonderful person that has recently began her career as a nurse, a very fitting one, as she is one of the sweetest, most caring people you could meet. Growing up together has been such an adventure sharing family "secrets," heart break stories, vacations, and a whole lot more. Even though they are literally family, Ashley and Cassie are also friends who cheer each other on and support one another, and if you need to laugh, Cassie's laugh is contagious, her smile brightens any room.
FAQs
Question
What's the atmosphere of the venue and the special day?

Question
Where is the designated parking area and will there be assistance provided?

Since the wedding is located at a home address, there is no parking lot on site, however you may park along the side of the road next to location and there will be signs for a parking lot down the street. Parking space is limited so we suggest car pooling if possible. Yes, after parking, you may choose to walk to ceremony site or catch a ride in style as you are chauffeured in a golf cart.

Answer
Yes! In the event of rain, the ceremony will be under a tent or inside the shed.
