Lot’s of things are contagious… yawning, the common cold, a love for mustaches, and smiling:) And Ashley and Charles have the combined smiling power that could rival a Hollywood power couple. Sometimes I enjoy a “moody” photo, but it was nearly impossible to force one out of these two and their wedding party. The problem might have been that the all of bride’s attendants have known each other since middle school or earlier. Or the presence of adorable and clever nieces and nephews. Clearly I’m not the only one who knew this would be a rocking good wedding to attend, despite the threat of freezing rain and being only two days after Thanksgiving, the party was packed. And all of us got a good smile and laugh from the bridesmaids’ dresses being sucked up by a vent on the church stairs during the ceremony then the bride dripping hot wax all over during the unity ceremony, and hearing toasts about the antics both Ashley and Charles pulled when they first met. So many reasons to be grinning this time of year, and now these two newlyweds have a long awaited wedding day to laugh about and celebrate. Enjoy the sampling:)
