Wow! Ashley & Rich’s wedding had it all - a candy bar, an ice cream station, a cigar roller, a photobooth, Dough-boys for a late night snack and a fireworks show. Add in the New York Players and a crazy fun bride and groom and you’ve got one awesome party. And, to top it all off, Ashley got up and sang with the band. Like I said, Wow!
I met up with Ashley and her bridal party at the salon where they were getting ready. They pretty much took over the place in their matching pink sweats and white sweatshirts. In addition to getting her hair and make up done, Ashley had her toenails bedazzled for her “something blue”. From there we headed to Ashley’s parents house so they could get dressed then headed to Saratoga National for the ceremony and reception.
Rich managed to keep it together as Ashley made her way down the aisle to him, however it looks like it took everything he had in him to do so. They had a short but very sweet ceremony which included a non-traditional reading that Ashley picked from “Marley & Me”, then sealed their vows with a kiss. After some quick photos, the newlyweds were introduced and danced their way into the reception where they pretty much stayed on the dance floor for the rest of the night - only taking a break for the fireworks and Dough-boys. At one point, Ashley joined the band for “Everlasting Love” and Rich was front and center for his new wife’s performance enjoying every second of it. As Ashley’s sister Whitney said in her toast - these two were made for each other.
Ashley & Rich - thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day and for all those yummy treats!
