Down the Aisle: Ashlynn + Matt

Her blue, sparkling eyes looked up at me when I first walked into the bridal room... and I was greeted with a squeal and a huge hug when Ashlynn exclaimed, "Hi Khara!" Tory, her mom, was nearby... and she was already glowing with the love of a mother-of-the-bride, overcome with pride and joy for her daughter on such an important (and exciting!) day. With a super great guy like Matt waiting to greet you at the other end of the aisle, how could you not be pumped? And cute shoes like this?! Ashlynn was smiling from head... to toe!

Wedding: Faith Westwood United Methodist Church Reception: The Paxton Ballroom Live Band: The Wise Guys

The girls formed a ring of support around Ashlynn while they laced up the back of her dress. The symbolism was touching.

In addition to the necklace Matt surprised her with, Ashlynn proudly wore her great grandmother's ring down the aisle.

Beautiful bouquet!

Emir scored this great shot of the boys... you know... just hangin'. :)

In what may have been one of the biggest surprises of all... Ashlynn surprised Matt with a MacBook Pro! He's a big time photo/video guy, so needless to say... he was stoked!

Grandparents. Always so cute!

Emir hits it out of the park again!

The reception was held at The Paxton in downtown Omaha. Be-yuuuuuu-tiful!

Matt's brother Zach rocked the house with his toast! An engineer by day.... he's apparently a chart/graph making ace in his off hours. Hilarious!

Um.... every wedding needs a little cow bell crowd surfing!

L.O.V.E. Congrats guys... you really hit it out of the park not only with a fantastic day... but of course having found each other  in the first place... and over time, building a relationship that is so obviously..... true. Hugs!
