Austin and Ashley's Wedding in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan

Our ceremony was filled with laughter, a thunderstorm, and a whole lot of love. As soon as I made it down the aisle at Wahby Park, it began to downpour. Luckily, our friends and family came to the rescue with re-enforcements and stuck it out during the ceremony. It is certainly something that I will never forget. After the rain, we were unable to take photos at the park so we were able to take our bridal portraits, bridal party photos, and family photos at our venue, Barrister Gardens. Thankfully, a bridesmaid's mom brought us towels, curling irons, and blow dryers to get freshened up. It was such a fun moment to see everyone work together and I truly believe it made the whole night more fun.

After photos, we entered the reception to T.I.'s "Bring Em Out" as it truly showcased all of our personalities. After dinner, which was an absolutely delicious buffet catered by the venue, the dances began. We danced to The Script's "Never Seen Anything Quite Like You" and it was magical. Of course, my first dance with my dad to Darius Rucker's "It Won't Be Like This For Long" was quite the tear jerker. And by "tear jerker", I mean I balled like a baby and that can be seen in the photos. My husband and his mom's dance was so sweet, and full of laughs, which perfectly described their playful personalities.

Our day was absolutely perfect. It was so full of love and while the rain may have altered our plans, I wouldn't have had it any other way.
