Ashley on ... The Wedding

January 22, 2008

Page 1 | Page 2

Your mom finally gets married -- tell us about the wedding!
The wedding was absolutely phenomenal! Every detail was thought out perfectly! I mean there really isn't much to say -- you who saw it know that it was breathtaking!

Your speech was beautiful -- how did you finally figure out what to say? (Any advice for other maids of honor?)
This being my first experience as maid of honor I had no idea what to say! I had never given a speech outside of school or an event ... nothing ever personal or heartfelt! At first I "planned" on having my speech done a month early so I could practice it and make sure it was exactly what I wanted to say! But I was a little busy and didn't end up writing it until two nights prior! Yes -- I am the all-time procrastinator, but I work best in a stressful situation! I knew I wanted my speech to be funny, light, a little sappy, and a little bit of a tear jerker! I just sat down and brainstormed for a few hours and got ideas from close friend.! All in all I think I accomplished a very sentimental speech. I still have friends and family coming up to me and giving me their praises! It meant a lot to me to be able to give that speech at the wedding. It was in front of close family and the people that are most important friends in my mom and George's life.

Hi Ashley,
Congrats on your speech at the wedding! You sounded great and it was touching especially for you mom. I like reading your blogs. They're proof that there is more to you than just beauty and blond hair! You have a sweet spirit and I hope you prosper in all you do. Choose your dates wisely because they can affect you more than you realise. I pray you find your perfect soul mate too someday. Best wishes for your career! --Geri

Hey Ashley,
I think you did a great job as the maid of honor at your mom's wedding. Your makeup always looks great. What is the brand of lipstick/gloss you and your mom wear ? Do you have any makeup tips?

Hi there -
I'm pretty much just going to say what everyone has said already - I LOVED the speech, esp. the roller coaster part! How sweet - you need to put a trademark on that and make it yours! How perfect! I wanted to write down the roller coaster comment but I have forgotten a small part of it - is there anyway I could have that part again?
Thanks so much!

I was wondering what color Lauri's bridesmaid dresses were and what designer made them or where she got them?

Kids your life is extremely blessed and you should realize that and wake up. Living in Orange County will put you on the same path your parents have gone and does it look like its worth it? Money for happiness should never happen. Keep your heads up, you can make sure that Orange County changes, more and more you seperate yourselves from the rest of the world and reality.

Ashley;
I loved the speech you gave at your mother's wedding, simply touching. Where did you get the saying about the roller coaster and what did you say, because I didn't remember all of it. Your mother's wedding was stunning and you are so very lucky. Take care and tell you mom congrats from me!

Ashley i watch the show all the time with my mother. I actually live in the Orange County in Huntington Beach, and i saw on your last season that you guys came down to the pier for the US Open i was very mad because i always go to that but this last summer i was avctually in Basic training :(. I am a MP in the U.S. Army Reserves and in the middle of mobilizing for my first deployment to iraq. I always thought you were the hottest "Daughter" haha. But i was also wondering that sense i would once again miss another season if you would write me to give me updates?
