When Ashlea was asked what the most anticipated part of her wedding to Chris was, she responded “Saying our marriage vows to each other in front of all of our dear family and friends. It felt amazing to say such wonderful words of love and commitment in front of all those that have supported our relationship along the way.”

One of the best things about starting from scratch and DIYing your wedding is how you can build your day to focus solely on the love you share with your partner and community. The wedding of Chris and Ashlea is a great example of this – sometimes all you need is good wine, good food, some fabulous poms and bunting, and good people.
