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.

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!

What a beautiful day, blessed by God.
