Ashley & Scott || Park Winters, CA

A beautiful celebration was documented on September twelfth, 2015 Ashley & Scott tied the knot at the beautiful Park Winters! Ashley looked absolutely stunning on her big day! They had a one of a kind ceremony with an emotional moment for both the parents and newlyweds! During the prayer a white dove came down and sat on top of the fountain that was right behind the couple, how beautiful and serene! Ashley’s Maid of Honor, Lauren Deary couldn’t have written a better speech to summarize the true passion & love between Ashley & Scott! I would like to share it with you all and I hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone for those of you who don’t know me my name is Lauren, and I am very happy to be here tonight to celebrate the wedding of my dear friend Ashley to her new husband Scott. Ashley and I have been going to school together since Kindergarten but it wasn’t until High School when we were inseparable. I have had the honor to be a best friend during the phases of life that have defined who Ashley is and am honored to partake in each milestone.

If you don’t know their story, Ashley and Scott’s relationship started years ago when they first started dating as kids.  I believe in love at first sight because of Ashley’s feeling for Scott. When I reflect back on their journey I can’t help but think of it as a fairytale love story which is so fitting for the Disney crazed couple. I truly believe Scott was not only her first love, but her only true love which is very unique and sacred in our culture today. The only logical explanation for the result of their love story is that God’s hand was in it long before today. Where there is anything that’s designed, there is a designer. In their case God is the author of their fairytale love story. Being the mastermind of marriage he methodically planned out their teenage romance. Through the childhood feelings of falling in love, their heartbreaks, tears and laughs it was all for a great intention which was to prepare them for this day. By trusting in their creator they grew and matured to be ready to commit and surrender themselves to one another, which in turn formed the most beautiful and blissful love story of them all.

Scott I just want to thank you for making Ashley the happiest woman she can be. I can truly say that Scott is Ashley’s hunky prince charming who has the power to light her up like nobody else has ever been able to. With great power comes great responsibility and that is to love and protect her heart forever. As her friend there is a sense of both joy and relief because I am confident that Scott is able to provide everything Ashley needs for her fairytale love story.

And to Ash, the princess in this whole story thank you for being such a wonderful friend. You do resemble a princess to all those you love not only for your beauty, but the you carry yourself with poise and dignity, giving everyone kindness and respect.I love your infectious laugh, open heart, and sincere honesty. Always remember that I, along with the rest of your friends and family will always be here to support you.

Before I finish, I wanted to share a piece of advice for the couple compliments of Disney:

To spend a life of endless bliss, just find who you love through true love’s kiss.

Please raise your glasses to ashley and Scott. May the happiness you have tonight only be the start to your happily ever after.

With Love,
Lauren Deary
