Wedding Wednesday: Ashley & Garrett

I’m so excited about this Wedding Wednesday!

I remember when I first met with Ashley & Garrett. I was taken with them immediately. 🙂 They were so friendly, kind and they’re story… so sweet! If you’ve noticed their unofficial hashtag #GarrettsGroceryGal you may be curious. Ashley & Garrett first met at Trader Joe’s, an excellent place to meet people I’ve now learned.

Ashley & her Maid of Honor, Megan were, as Megan recently put it in her speech, “Looking for something healthy and not so healthy.” When Garrett noticed them, he went over to see if he could help and true to his personality struck up a conversation. That day he loaned Ashley one of his favorite books which left her excited and in a little bit of a predicament. After checking it out, her and Megan decided they would put Ashley’s number in the book before returning it. If he found it, it was meant to be… 😉

While there were many different highlights to Ashley & Garrett’s wedding one of my favorite moments was right before the ceremony when they took a few minutes to read the notes they had written each other together. It was sweet, intimate and truly a genuine moment. 🙂

Ashley & Garrett, I hope you enjoy this sneak peek and can’t wait to share more in the coming weeks!

This was awesome! The Danada House did a first look of the reception room with Garrett & Ashley.
What a treat to watch them as they entered the room and saw all their months of hard work put together.

And good night. Perfect end to a beautiful day. 🙂
