The perfect wedding day began with Ashleigh, her mother, Adam's mother and Ashleigh's bridesmaids and flowergirl getting hair and makeup done at her parents home in Huntertown, Indiana. Amy Waldroup from A Day Away Salon and Spa did two fabulous updos for Ashleigh on her wedding day. First, a graceful half-updo to compliment her veil and tiara and second, a playful sideswept ponytail with a flirty feather hairpiece for the reception. Katie Kindness from Alter created an elegant updo for the bride's mother, Kim.
Ashleigh (such a divine bride!) wore a breathtaking strapless dipped neckline and corset closure satin Maggie Sottero gown which she found at Touma's Bridal Shoppe (along with her tiara and veil). Her Ambrosia bridal dress had glamorous embellished lace accenting the entire bodice, a soft shimmer satin skirt, lace and handmade flowers nestled in the bustled train. "She looked absolutely majestic," one guest said. Her amazing flowers throughout the day were created by Ceruti's.
The gorgeous purple bridesmaid gowns with flower petals gracing the back of the dress were from Touma's Bridal Shoppe.
This was our brief attempt to get nine grandkids to sit still for one brief moment. LOL! : ) I felt right at home (after all, my hubby and I have five bouncing little ones ourselves).
The handsome groomsmen's tuxes were from Men's Warehouse.
Ashleigh and Adam have been dating for, well...forever! They were high school sweethearts. They got engaged the day after Christmas in 2008. Adam proposed by taking Ashleigh on a very nice date (she got to choose the restaurant so they headed for one of their favorite local pizza joints...Pint & Slice downtown Fort Wayne). Adam then took her ice skating, followed by a carriage ride through Franke Park to see all of the Christmas lights on display. It was on the carriage ride that he slipped the engagement ring onto Ashleigh's finger under the blanket and asked her to marry him! That is SO sweet!! I just LOVE their proposal story.
Adam and Ashleigh finally tied the knot on June 2, 2012 at their home church of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, IN. The atmosphere and all of the details were perfectly romantic. "Today I married my best friend!" Ashleigh said. No one could deny the joy in both of their eyes all day long!

Ceruti's Summit Park Diamond Room was decorated with sprays of purple lights, candles and flowers.
At their seat, each guest received a gift of love...a jar of homemade jam made by some of Ashleigh's friends and decorated by hand by Ashleigh and her mother.
The amorous and fun mood that filled the air was infused with cool live jazz being performed by Alicia (a friend of the Tippmann family) and some very talented IPFW students.
Beautiful! The cake was beautiful!!! Kudos to you Bagel Station! The adorable retro floral cake topper was found on Etsy (btw, SO many of my brides are Etsy-fanatics!). Ashleigh is now using it as a decoration in her house! I love that she is recycling her wedding decor!!!!
Wow! The amazing table top ice sculptured martini bar kept guests coming back all night long. And Jerry Berghoff from Pro DJ kept the reception dance floor hoppin!
