Ashley & Wade0256

How long did you date?

We dated 4 years before Wade proposed.

How did he propose?

At the end of 2 thoughtful weeks filled with different acts of love Wade proposed at the Sun Dial restaurant on our 4 year anniversary. He also surprised me by having photographers (This Is You) capture the special moment.   

When did you know he was the one?

I knew he was the one early in our relationship, about 3 months. Wade treated me differently than any other guy I’ve dated. He’s a true gentleman, that is one of the things I love most about him.

What is the cutest thing he has done for you without you asking?

When I graduated from Albany State University Wade offered to pick up my grandmother and drive her all the way down to Albany for my graduation. He is willing to do anything to make me smile.

What is something you love about him that has completely changed your life?

I love the way he sees positivity in every situation, helping me view things from a different perspective.

I can’t believe I’m engaged! I love my ring!

What was your favorite part about the ceremony?

My favorite part of the ceremony was walking down the aisle seeing Wade shed a tear.

Ashley & Wade0206

What was your favorite part about the wedding?

Yes, my sister and I made the signage for the frames.

      What is your favorite part about being married to each other?

      My favorite part about being married is having my spouse by my side no matter what, and building a daily foundation of love.

      What did you learn about each other through the wedding planning process?

      Through the wedding process we learned to have patience with each other.

      Did you have any southern food on your menu? If so what and why?

      We had deviled eggs for one of the appetizers because that’s one my favorites!
