Our Wedding

Q + A

“Three Tries and a Strike” In early of twenty-four,Ashton saw what he’d been searching for.With hopeful heart and steady aim,He asked her out—not once, but cameBack twice again, then once more still, Drawn by her spark, her quiet thrill.Mercedes paused, then softly smiled,Agreed at last, though thoughts ran wild.A pizza shared, warm laughs and light,Their first date bloomed into the night. Then off to bowl, the lanes aglow,Where she let her fierce spirit show.No mercy given, she took the lead,While Ashton watched her grace and speed.Though pins fell not for him that day, Her laughter swept his doubts away.He lost the game, but won much more—A chance to know the girl he’d adore.So love began with playful flair,A stubborn heart, a strike, a dare.And through each frame, each step, each try, He found his match beneath the sky.Now here we are, two years gone by,With hearts full and spirits high.Excited to share this joyful stage,Our love, our vows, our wedding page.Together with each one of you,We celebrate a love so true.
