On Monday Ashley and Dustin were married at the beautiful Lange Farm.  Dad always enjoys weddings there!  Ashley wore a gorgeous gown that had a red sash.  She carried a red bouquet and her bridesmaids all wore spaghetti strap short red dresses.  The red popped next to the groomsmen who wore black tuxes, shirts, and ties.  Dustin is a Marine and wore his uniform which even had a red stripe down the pants to match the wedding color 🙂 .  The couple honored Dustin’s service with a USMC garter and groom’s cake.  We would also like to thank Dustin and everyone in the military for their service and sacrifice!!

After the ceremony, Ashley and Dustin were anxious to start the party!  They did their first dance, cake cutting, and garter removal at the beginning of the reception so they could change into more comfortable outfits (jeans with black and red shirts to keep with the wedding colors) before enjoying a barbeque dinner.  Guests were all laughing when Dustin pulled out a pair of granny panties from under Ashley’s dress before the actual garter!  They line danced and partied and had a great time.  As the night was ending, Dustin and his groomsmen serenaded Ashley with the song “You Lost that Loving Feeling” from the movie Top Gun.

Thank you to Ashley and Dustin for having dad there to share in your day, and we wish you the best of luck for a long and happy life together!

It was raining after the ceremony and mom thinks seeing the rain fall as the couple kisses on the porch makes a really sweet picture.
