What is your favorite photo and why?
Tony-I like the photograph of us standing in the middle of market street.
Ashley-I really like the photograph of us standing where we took all the family photographs behind the church. It was a really nice green space and will make for an amazing print to hang in our house. 
How did you two meet?
Tony and I meet through his brother, Steven. Steven was dating a girl named Leslie who happened to be marching the same winterguard that I was. So when I learned that Leslie was dating a guy with two other brothers I asked her if one was single. Everything seemed to fall into place after we met and went on our first date.

Tell use about the proposal?
Tony and I had been talking about getting married for sometime before we had made the decision together. Tony had got a job in the panhandle of Oklahoma in August and was planning a trip back in September around his birthday. We made the decision to get married while he was gonna be back in town. It might not be a romantic proposal or what most expect or do.
What was your vision for your wedding day? How did you make it personal?
I just wanted to have a wedding that everyone would enjoy including Tony and I. We had a very vintage feel to our wedding. We made everything for our wedding down to the bouquets and boutonnieres.
What did you like most about your hair, shoes, and dress?
I really liked that everything was comfortable.
Tell us about the first moment you saw your bride/groom?
Tony-The biggest smile I ever had. It made me happy to see how happy Ashley was to walk down the isle.
Ashley-I was really happy that my husband was standing at the alter waiting for me.
How did you choose your venue?
When I was in the process of looking for the venue I had found that everything I like was either over my price range or booked for that day. So I was starting to worry about my limited choices. I asked Mike, my mothers boyfriend, if he knew of anything. Mike is originally from the St. Louis area and his brother happened to own a really unique restaurant downtown. So I asked his brother about it and went with that venue.
What was your favorite moment during the wedding?
We really enjoyed the best man and maid of honors speeches before dinner. It was also really nice to spend time with friends and family we love so much.
What was your reception like?
We had an amazing view of St. Louis from the patio we sat on when we ate dinner. The food at Harry’s was amazing! We finished with cupcakes from Jillys Cupcakes!
Where did you honeymoon?
We have not had the opportunity to honeymoon yet with our busy schedules. However we hope to be able to take a honeymoon soon on a nice and sunny beach!
Whats next on the calendar for you as a couple?
We hope to continue to grow more in love everyday and of course buy a house!
