David Gulledge & Debbie Pearce
Father of the Bride
Ashlee’s dad, David, and his fiancé Debbie have generously opened their home for our wedding, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Ashlee has no doubt she wouldn’t have made it without her dad’s help. Debbie is a wonderful addition to the family, always offering a listening ear and so much kindness, and we can’t wait to officially welcome her! This day wouldn’t even be possible if it weren’t for Debbie!
