Without any further ado, here’s Ashley…<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On October 10th<\/sup>, 2010\u2014my hair a tumbling mess of curls, the room around me sparkling with candlelight\u2014I walked down the aisle of the Atlas Theatre in Cheyenne, crossing the threshold from \u201cengaged\u201d to \u201cmarried\u201d with a pair of glitter-dunked flats on my feet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Eleven months prior, I was newly engaged, left hand all a-dazzle, and had absolutely no idea how to plan a wedding. All I knew was (1<\/strong>) the words \u201cfianc\u00e9\u201d and \u201cfianc\u00e9e\u201d were incredibly weird, and using them made me feel like I was referring to my betrothed as some sort of exotic food;<\/em> (2<\/strong>) my left hand had never before been as stared at or grabbed for by people I barely knew as it was in those first few months post-engagement; and (3<\/strong>) OMG GUYS I\u2019M GETTING MARRIED I\u2019M GETTING MARRIED OMG.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To start things off\u2014hi, I\u2019m Ashley! Born and raised in Cheyenne, I\u2019m living the newlywed life with my husband Gus (and still dorking out every time I get to refer to him as such; \u201chusband\u201d is my new favorite word<\/em>) and still trying to perfect my new signature. He\u2019s a mechanic, I\u2019m a copywriter, and we celebrated 11 years together just four days before we got married. (Yes, seriously. People always ask if we\u2019ve been together \u201csince, like, preschool,\u201d and it takes them by surprise when I tell them we actually\u00a0have<\/strong> a picture of us, together, from preschool. True story. It\u2019s hanging in our living room.<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The first time Gus asked me out, I was 13 and he was 14; knelt down in front of me\u2014untying my shoe, as per his usual manner of flirting\u2014 he boldly asked, “Would you go out with me?<\/strong>” My shoe still his captor, and an impish spirit coursing through my veins, I sassily replied, “What happens if I say yes<\/strong>?”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Without missing a beat, as though we’d rehearsed it a thousand times, he answered, “Then I’ll love you forever<\/strong>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fast-forward to November 30th, 2009, and we were back in the same place we began; me, feet dangling from a stool in the woodshop classroom at our junior high school, and my husband to be, bent down on one knee in front of me with a diamond ring in one hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From picking the perfect vendors, to finding THE dress, down to the random family drama and tackling DIY projects\u2026. I\u2019ve been there. And now that I\u2019m smack dab in the middle of life as a newlywed, I\u2019ve also got plenty to say about the epic process of changing my name, finding a home for all our wedding gifts, writing thank-you cards until my hand\u2019s about ready to fall off\u2026 like I said, I\u2019ve got no shortage of topics to touch on, and I\u2019m excited to get to know you all as we commiserate, trade tips and share stories.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seriously, if you haven\u2019t guessed by now, I\u2019m a talker by nature, and I would absolutely LOVE to hear about your wedding plans, help answer questions, see pics of your dream dresses\u2026 what\u2019s Wyoming Weddings if not a place to settle in, kick back your feet and celebrate this gorgeous time in your life?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SO looking forward to getting to know everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
