Ashley and Ed's wedding was no exception. They had visions of saying "I do" in a beautifully lit garden on a crisp December evening at the Parador in downtown Houston. God, however, had other plans. The day was gray and wet, putting the couple's plans for a garden ceremony to an end. Though disappointed, Ashley and Ed had a back-up plan to tie the knot inside the beautiful Parador itself.
Ashley was the calmest bride I have been lucky enough to work with. As the girls were rustling around to get ready, Ashley floated between them fixing their hair, laughing and joking the whole time. The steamer they had planned to use for Ashley's dress decided to quit before it ever started and while bridesmaids rounded up husbands and friends to hunt for another, Ashley stayed content as could be. Once she was finally able to step into that dress, she looked beyond beautiful and was ready to go see her Ed - after careful transfer of her dress over the wet ground of course.
During all of the activity over on the girls' side, the guys were casually getting ready on theirs. They were upbeat and excited, keeping Ed occupied to calm his nerves. They sipped their wine as they watched guests fill the Parador. It was almost time for Ed to see his bride.
The big moment had finally arrived. Ashley's song started and the doors opened, revealing her for the first time. A huge smile spread across Ed's face as his beautiful bride walked toward him to start the rest of their lives together.
Then it was time for the new Mr. and Mrs. to let loose and party. So, after a fancy buffet, that's just what they did. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Not only do Ashely and Ed completely love each other, but it is also clear that they hold a special place in the hearts of their friends and family. Thank you two so much for letting us be a part of your day. We wish you nothing but the best!
