Q + A

How did Alona and Ashley Meet?

They met on a social media site named Facebook in 2019. Alona inboxed Ashley and Ashley responded almost a month later👀. The conversation was on and off for awhile for various reasons on both ends. They finally connected because Ashley was persistent on getting to know Alona. Alona was sort of difficult to convince as she was not seeing relationships in general in a positive light. Ashley admitted to Alona she had been seeing her throughout FB and was attracted to her. She manifested a relationship with Alona and boom💥 it happened. Ashley became Alona’s Sunshine ☀️ and now Alona experiences happiness in all forms. Alona became Ashley’s Sunflower 🌻 and now Ashley smiles more. They couldn’t have asked for a better love story.

Alona also has lived several places due to life choices including Illinois, Texas, California, Louisiana and now Arizona. They are currently living together in Arizona and can not wait until their parents join them for their wedding to check out their world.

Ashley is a Leo and Alona is an Aquarius. ♌️ ♒️ They are stated to be sister signs which means complete opposites.

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Make sure to arrive well before 4:30 p.m. to ensure you have enough time to clear security and sign in at the court window. Courthouse doors lock at precisely 5 p.m. and no one may enter after that.

What is the dress code?

Our catch phrase is courthouse, cocktails, casual. So of course come comfy but dressed to impress nothing fancy but decent. In case you are wanting to be extra fancy and want to match us somewhat our colors will be posted below.
