Last week was bittersweet as I met with Sarah for the last time, as my intern.  We reminisced about all of the crazy things we’ve been through together over the past 8 months and the goals we have for the upcoming year. After last year’s 35 weddings, I realized I needed some help.  I set […]

I'm Ashley
