Our Story

We're getting married.

By the Grace of Grace

Audrey first became aware of Ashe through a scheduled date between Ashe and Audrey's friend Grace. A couple of weeks passed before Audrey received a surprise at the end of a grueling 16-hour shift — Ashe, looking like someone on the strangest date of her life: confused and more than a little miffed!

Through many twists and turns, Ashe and Audrey set their first date, and it was magical — but it was truly the second date that kicked off their story.

Their second date was a picnic at the park that would later become the site of their wedding ceremony. Audrey arrived with a gift of three books, having remembered Ashe letting slip on their first date that the quickest way to her heart was through literature.

Ashe didn't enjoy most of the books — but it's the thought that counts! — and the two went on approximately 10 dates over the next two weeks.

We would love for you to be a part of the next chapter in our story. Below you'll find all the details about our wedding, and we hope you'll be able to join us!
