Wedding Success!

The wedding was a huge success! Thank you for everyone that came out to help us celebrate. More photos to come, but for now check out our photos on Brighen Photography's website here

G&A Are Counting Down!

Well hello there friends! Time has just flown by and Grant and I cannot believe that its already June next week! Just 19 days & counting! Soon enough we will be saying I do and celebrating with you all! We are so excited!

After days of non stop wedding planning, we have decided to head towards the beach this memorial day weekend for a change of pace. I'm hoping it helps me refresh so we can tackle all of the last minute details and then its time to head to NE for the wedding bash! Hope to see you soon!

G&A Register for the Future

When I think about what to register for I dream of all of the things that would fit perfectly in our cozy little home. I ponder the perfect dinner party and cannot help but think that all of our new items will be the highlight of the night. I look into the future and see the cookie jar that our babies will climb the counter to reach into, the fine china we will eat off during special celebrations and the way our home will smell when you first walk in. 

Now the subject of how practical some registry items really are has been brought to my attention by the realist in our lil duo (aka Grant). Will these items be something we use everyday or will they sit in a box in storage only to be brought out during moving day? So with that brought to my attention, I wanted to make a go-to list of things that just scream Grant and Ashley. I assure you that these lil babies will get plenty of use throughout the years. 

And of course if you feel the need to bypass Grant's concerns (believe me I won't mind) We have also registered at Target here for some practical and not so practical gifts. Happy Shopping!

G&A Have Been Busy Busy Busy!

Life here for us has been a little crazy! As most of your probably know, Grant is still overseas on his travels thru Europe. Posted above are just a couple pictures that he has taken during his many adventures. With Grant traveling the world, me trying to find more freelance work and a new apartment in NY, as well as attempting to finish the seemingly never ending details of our upcoming wedding, we have been busy busy busy! 

One little sneak peak of news I do have for you guys is that the invitations are ready to be picked up tomorrow from the printer- hooray! I cannot tell you how excited I am to rip open those babies and send em out for the world to see! Posted photos of the lil guys will be coming this weekend! Hope your just as excited about it as I am. More promised wedded bliss to come!

G&A's Reception Style

Exciting News! I have finally picked a dress! My maid of honor and I took the time to get together over the holidays and finally found THE ONE! Of course you all will have to wait for the big reveal on our big day, but I did want to show you a little of our inspiration. The thought of my rustic-romantic-chic decor all coming together makes me burst at the seams from excitement!

G&A Announce Our Venues

As promised, here is the list of the venues! Better late than never right? Anyhow, the ceremony will be held at a Methodist Church in downtown Lincoln, NE. After the ceremony everyone will head over a few blocks to the Chez Hay Catering Co. It is a beautiful loft directly above Noodles and Co on 14th and P. As you can see in the map, it should be a short little walk/drive. More details yet to come!
