Daniel and Lauren Ashley Wedding Photos - Part 1

Mrs. Ashley Or - it's still a bit strange to hear my daughter referred to that way. 

She is now a married woman, starting out a new life with her best friend, Daniel.  It is true, what they say.  We didn't lose a daughter - we gained a son. 

The wedding celebrations were beautiful, exciting, emotional and, did I mention, beautiful?

We received the official photographs from Hugh Forte, their incredible photographer, and I wanted to share, with you,  a glimpse at all the festivities. 

This first group of pictures are from the Cambodian ceremony, honoring Daniel's family and culture.


Endless hours were spent dressing and primping for each one of the three portions of the ceremonies that day.



 Daniel led the procession down the street, bringing gifts for the bride and her family.









Daniel sees his beautiful bride, waiting for him at the door!



Engagement portion of the ceremony - exchanging of the rings



The bridal party - John (Daniel's brother), Andrew (Daniel's best man), Daniel (groom), Ashley (bride), Hosanna (Daniel's sister), Natalie (Ashley's matron of honor)


 


 Clothing change #2 - green and gold



Grooming ceremony - Daniel and Ashley are 'groomed' and blessed by family and friends.  Some of us got a bit carried away.  You know who you are!






Clothing change #3 - gold, gold and more gold! 
Daniel and Ashley receiving a blessing from their siblings.


Our new and improved family.



The Or family.



What a beautiful day, blessed by God.
