Freshmen in high school, Ashley and Nolan were just that, friends. After years of friendship, flirting, and other boyfriends/girlfriends along the way, true love could no longer be denied. Finally, the Senior Prom sealed their fate and love grew from the planted seeds of friendship. Soon to follow was college, long distance, and late night phone calls, but through all the miles, their commitment to each other remained. A 7 year courtship held not only by the bonds of love, but by the genuine friendship they had formed so many years ago. Out of love grew a promise and soon a ring was presented. It was time for a magnificent wedding to be planned!
On a crisp fall day in November, the pair were married at Christ the King Lutheran Church; the childhood church of Nolan and his family. Against the bright colors of the perfect autumn day, Ashley stood elegant, angelic in her strapless satin gown by SanPatrick, paired with sassy high heel pumps inscribed with blue marker on the bottom, Mrs. Peevy 11/7/09. Every bit the beautiful bride, she adorned her attire with a handkerchief from her Great-Great Grandmother, an antique brooch from her Great Grandmother, and a smile of knowingness that she was about to marry her high school love. A promise sealed with a kiss, the two fell in love all over again to the witness of family, friends and the angels above.
The reception was held at the Winfield Hall, Duluth, Ga and held all the grace and elegance of a night to remember. Florals and decor by Florals by Melody kissed the grand ballroom with the serene earth tones of the autumn day. A celebration with friends and family, the pair danced the night away filling every corner of the room with smiles. The cake by For Goodness Cakes, towered over the scene begging to be sliced accompanied by the groom's cake, a tiger paw print; a wink to his alma mater, Clemson University Tigers. And with the unpredictable up her sleeve, Ashley playfully smashed that ceremonial piece of cake into her new husband's face. A sweet surrender to the fun adventure of a new life the two were now about to embark on together.
And with love and adventure on their minds, the new Mr. and Mrs. Nolan Peevy jetted away to the island of St. Lucia for a grand beach honeymoon. Sea, sand, and sun-kissed, the Sandals Grande Resort was the perfect place to reminisce about the past, dream of the future, and fall in love all over again with a best friend.
