Ashlynd & Shane
Wedding Party
Amanda Wall
Matron of Honor
When I was a young, single mother looking to catch a break - Amanda was there for me and my baby. When my son was having some crazy health issues - she was there for us both. From doctor appointments, to breathing treatments to crazy food allergies - she was there. She has been by my side through thick and thin. I wouldn't know what to do witout her. As time has gone by, Amanda and I grew closer and closer; she quickly went from babysitter to best friend. I know that no matter what, she will be there for me and my family. I can tell her anything and she never leaves my side. I am forever grateful that God gave her to us.
Ricky Wall
Best Man
Ricky, has been there for our family in many ways (just like his wife, Amanda). Ricky has always been a strong male role model for our son, Hudsen. He has taught him about hard work, dedication and that boys never grow up - but their toys do. Over the years, Ricky and Shane have become extremely close. Ricky, recently started his own business, Triple Trouble Landscape, where he immediately acquired Shane. When they're together - there is never a sad face or a disappointing moment. Ricky and Shane are truly the best friends everyone wishes they had.
Brianna Kelly
Junior Bridesmaid
I met Brianna when she was just 5 years old. She is the daughter of, Katie. I have watched this blonde hair, blue eyed little girl grow into a beautiful, smart, funny, caring young lady. Brianna, has made us both very proud of who she's becoming. Brianna always knows that Uncle Shane will indulge in her weird pizza likes, let her have what she wants and knows its always a good time. She's going to take life by the horns and ride it out. We are so truly blessed for our wonderful niece. I am forever thankful that Katie brought her into our lives.
Hudsen Ray
Junior Groomsman
Hudsen is the whole light of our life. He is our son, our best friend and our biggest reason to smile. Shane may not be Hudsen's biological father - but he loves him all the same. When Shane was ready to propose, he asked Hudsen's permission, as he knew that the number 1 most important blessing, came from our boy. Hudsen makes our family whole and keeps us going. Everything we do is for our little boy. Hudsen, is so beyond excited for our special day as he knows it truly will bring our family together, forever.
April Sharpless
Bridesmaid
April is friends with both the bride and groom. She is the wife of Matt Sharpless. April and Ash have really grown close this past year and have formed a really awesome friendship. From random adventures to dinner dates. She is wonderful to our son, Hudsen, and our family as a whole. We can not wait to have more time to grow our friendship even more and get even closer. I'm so blessed that we have gotten so close and to have her apart of our big day!
Matt Sharpless
Groomsman
Matt has become such an amazing friend, with his goofy personality you can't help but always laugh when he is around. When Matt, Ricky and Shane are together - it's like watching your favorite episode of the three stooges. Matt has been such a huge help to Shane and our family. He quickly became one of his best friends and one of Hudsen's favorite people. Matt is also the business owner of Sharpless Tree Service. He is always willing to lend a hand and be there when you need him most, especially if your tree falls down (lol).
Hannah Duchene
Bridesmaid
I met Hannah through her husband, Nick, a few years ago when they first started dating. She quickly went from "my best friends girlfriend" to one of my closest friends. She has been by my side, cheered me up and keeps a smile on my face. A lot of my fondest memories - include her in them. She has gone out of her way to throw me a birthday party when I was bummed I didn't have the space for it, she has come to my house (even though my animals make her sick) and she has given us all the greatest gift of, Daisy. I will forever be grateful that my best friend found you and introduced us. Thank you for always being you.
Nick Duchene
Groomsman
Nick, has been by Ash's side since High School. He was always there for her when she needed him most. I am truly so happy that not only are they best of friends, but that he is my friend, too. We both knew she wouldn't be able to do this day without him and his wife, Hannah. He's been so accepting of our relationship and always has cheered us on. Nick, has been our biggest supporter through our whole relationship. We wouldn't be able say "I Do" without him.
Kristi Ebel
Bridesmaid
Kristi is my person. She has been my best friend through some of the toughest times of my life. At one point - we even fell out of touch. Until one day - she reached out to me and it was as if time has never stopped. From tears to smiles - I have some of the best memories with this woman. I couldn't be more grateful for that call and for her. She has been such an amazing aunt to Hudsen and im so blessed and proud to be an aunt to her little girl, Madelyn. Kristi and I really have gone through it all, together. She is my best friend and I am truly grateful.
Peyton Zankel
Groomsman
Peyton, my monkey. The person who makes me so so proud to be your sister. I love you forever. You are the best little brother ever. From pizza dates as kids to grown adults with ambition and a purpose. I couldn't be more proud to be called your big sister. You made me grow up fast, kid. I thank you more often than you know, because of you, I am the mother to my son that I am. You have seen the ugly, bad, good and great and have loved me through every single step of it. I love you so much. I am beyond blessed that you will be standing up there by Shane, watching me marry the love of my life.
Lindsay Cary
Bridesmaid
Lindsay is the best sister-in-law anyone could ever ask for. She has always been about family and unity. We are beyond excited that she agreed to be such a huge part of our big day. Lindsay has always supported me and my baby. I am so happy that my brother, Matt, found her and made her a part of our big crazy family.
Matt Cary
Groomsman
Matthew is the best big brother a girl could ask for. He's always fun to be around and always supportive. Matt and Shane have grown very close and its been a beautiful journey to watch unfold. We are way beyond thrilled that he accepted to stand up there when we say "i do."
Jessica McNear
Bridesmaid
Jess, has been my life mentor since I was a freshman in High School. I have watched her grow as an artist, performer, friend and inspiration. From high school musicals to Nashville Recording Artist. I couldn't be more proud of her and whose she's become. No matter what, Jess and I have been through it all together, even from so far apart. Her and I both know, no matter what we will always be by one another sides. Jessica, will also be singing at our wedding and we are beyond excited and blessed that she's doing a "double role" for us on our special day.
Logan Shaffer
Groomsman
We have watched Logan grow up over the years from this little kid to a young man. From flying around in go-carts and quads, to soaring through the air while pole vaulting. Logan, started his own graphic design business that we are so happy to help support and proud of his accomplishments. Logan is the cousin of Ashlynd and has become such a close friend to Shane. We are so proud of the man you are becoming and are so happy you agreed to stand up there for our special day.
Briah Cravotta
Bridesmaid
I thankfully became best friends with her, thanks to shane. He introduced us (kind of) and we just took off. She has listened to me cry and scream when life got hard, and smile and laugh through all of the best parts of it. She is always there when you need her most; even when her schedule is insane. She is Hudsen's idol as she drives her "big tow truck that uncle kenny isnt allowed to drive"; he absolutely loves his Aunt Beeah. She's always there. Shane did us right by helping us become the friends we are today. We are so grateful for her and her husband, Kenny.
Kenny Cravotta
Groomsman
Kenny, quickly became friends of ours when him and Briah started dating. He not only took ahold of his new life with her, but her friends and family, too. Kenny, is a go-to friend and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Hudsen, loves his Uncle Kenny and loves to tease him for not being allowed to "drive aunt beeah's tow truck". Although, our friendship is newer - he's become such an awesome friend to us and couldn't imagine doing this day without him.
Katie Bean
Wedding Planner
Katie is the best friend anyone could ever ask for. We became friends when I was pregnant with my son. She's helped me move, she's picked up my spirits, she's stood by my side through all the ups and downs. She's been an amazing aunt to Hudsen and the best friend I could have ever asked for. From 3 am panicking mom of a screaming infant - to planning my wedding. I would be 110% lost without her. Katie, has chosen to ensure that our day is everything I could have ever dreamed of. I am so beyond grateful for her.
