ashlie and scottβs story
βWe initially met at an Auburn Football tailgate but thatβs not when we started dating or even
talking,β shares Ashlie. Before ever meeting Scott, Ashlie first became friends with his sister
while attending Auburn University.
One day, years after graduating, Ashlie jokingly messaged who she thought was Scottβs sister
asking if he was single. As fate would have it, she sent the message directly to Scott instead!
βHe replied, βActually I am; how about you?ββ shares Ashlie.
Before Ashlie knew it, Scott was driving from Fairhope, AL to Montgomery, AL to take her on
their first date.
On the anniversary of their first date, Ashlie met Scott in Fairhope for dinner. She bought a new
white dress β the color she wore on their first date. They arrived βa little earlyβ for their dinner
reservations at The Grand Hotel, so Scott suggested a walk down to the water. As they walked
down the steps to the waterβs edge, Scott presented her with red roses in a pewter mint julep
cup. Engraved on the cup were the words: βWill you marry me?β
βI look up and heβs on one knee with the ring in his hand,β says Ashlie. β I obviously said βYes!ββ
the first look
The wedding was a black tie affair hosted at The Battle House Hotel & Spa in downtown Mobile, AL.
βMy wedding turned out to be even more wonderful than I couldβve imagined!β says Ashlie. The day included many βFirst Looks,β as Ashlieβs father, grandmother and aunts all saw her for the first time in her wedding dress.
Of course, Ashlie and Scott also shared a private moment, seeing each other on the wedding day before the ceremony.
The last βFirst Lookβ was the moment Ashlie walked into the Moonlight Ballroom where the reception would take place to see how floral designer Glen Jenkins of The Shade Tree Floral Events & Design transformed the space. βIt was a magical moment,β she shares.
the wedding ceremony
The ceremony setting was equally gorgeous with white blooms surrounding the couple as they said their vows in The Atrium of the RSA Tower of the hotel.
the first dance + wedding reception
At the end of the evening, Ashlie and Scott shared a dance to βThe Good Iβll Doβ by Zach Bryan before making their grand exit.
βThe wedding had lots and lots of great momentsβ¦,β says Ashlie. βIt was truly a dream!β
