Lyla had some good lines including asking me to call her Belle all day... because she is a princess! And when she was sitting with Gary watching Ashley & Jeremy's first dance Gary said to her "you know that will be you someday" to which she responded "dancing with you daddy?" .... might as well just rip his heart out and stomp on it! :) So sweet, I hope she always loves him this much!
I took a few pictures, not as many as I wish I had. Some people are supposed to be sending me some, so I will share those if I get them!
These first ones are from the rehearsal dinner. The first one is what I got when I wanted to take a picture of Lyla with Gary and she didn't want her picture with him, she wanted to take a picture with me.
hahahaha like good and evil!
Here are the rest:
And here is my toast:
Hello.
For anyone who doesn’t know me, my name is Kate and I’m lucky enough to be one of Ashley’s best friends.
Ashley and I first met my senior year of high school. She is two years younger than me so it was just by chance that we ended up in a cooking class together. Too bad for Jeremy I don’t think either of us learned very much!
We were instant friends and started spending a lot of time together. We did lots of normal teenage girl things. Like shopping and buying clothes just so Ashley could take them home and alter them to how she likes them. Or going to Kings and trying to see exactly how much ice cream we could eat before we thought we would explode. Or dying each other’s hair and mine turning out orange like a pumpkin… you know, normal girl stuff!
A few years later Ashley had gone away to college and I had moved to Morgantown. We aren’t sure how or why but we lost touch.
Then about 4 years ago we reconnected. We started to talk on facebook and found out we were actually both living in the same neighborhood. So we met for dinner one night and things went right back to the way they had always been.
Its been such a blessing to have Ashley back in my life and the timing couldn’t have been better. I was pregnant when we started hanging out again so I have got to have her by my side every step of the way with Lyla. And I got to be there to hear all about her meeting Jeremy and falling in love with him.
I am so happy for these two.
To know Ash is to love her and everyone I know thinks the world of Jeremy. These two have so much fun together and so much respect for one another.
To Ashley and Jeremy – I wish you a marriage full of love and laughter and wonderful memories for many years to come!
