Ashlee and Doug were married in rural Carlyle, IL. Her parent's have a scenic property, and Ashlee and Doug decided to have an outdoor wedding. After a bunch of praying from mom, they had the most beautiful fall day for their wedding. The girls readied themselves at her parent's house and the guys met next door at Ashlee's aunt and uncle's house. The chairs were set out, the decorations were finalized and the guests came and were seated. The moment had finally come for Ashlee and Doug to become Husband and Wife. Tears flowed and vows were exchanged. Everything was perfect and these two absolutely deserved perfect! 

Everything is going along quite well. I am doing surprisingly well at not tearing up, and then mom comes in....The handkerchief is made from her mom's dress and the angel is from her aunt's and this is her grandmother's ring. Dad's turn! Oh my... no words. You can tell that Ashlee is and will always be Daddy's little girl. He is so proud of her. Yep. I totally cried with everyone else in the room. I asked Ashlee and Doug what their favorite moment of the day was and they both said seeing each other for the first time. That one moment is so full of anticipation and love it is unbelievable how long you can remember it. This is her back yard growing up! Jealous?This guy! haha! Quite the riot!My favorite moment. THE SPEECHES! Oh my goodness! Rapping, singing maids of honor......and THE BESTMAN! Stand-up comic should be in his future because he brought down the house!Everyone handing in their keys.And let's not forget the older, wiser bestman, Dave. He got a couple of laughs and made mom cry. (Not gonna lie, I had a knot in my throat too. I am a total sissy at weddings)Daddy/Daughter dance time! They danced for a short while and then watched a slide show of memories. Dad never stood a chance. Someone pass the tissues quick!All mother/son dances make me cry. This one makes me cry every time I look at the next picture. Garter toss time! When Doug first pulled out his phone, I thought he was texting someone. Nope, flashlight! hehe Smart alack!Now check out this grab! (he REALLY wanted that garter!)And a close up of the grab. OH! And don't forget the celebration dance! The Girls are up next and they are throwing down! Miss Alex was sad she wasn't able to catching it in all of the scratching and hair pulling so they share. That's good sportsman ship right there!I am glad you finally had everyone turn in their keys Doug, because she is one beautiful girl that is madly in love with you. Treat her right. I saw the inside of her uncle's house. Pretty sure He and Dad will be showing up if you don't. ;P 

Congratulations again, Ashlee and Doug!! Thanks for asking us to be a part of your day!
