Ashley and Ivan... Fun! Loving! Caring! These three qualities really sums up a lot of who Ashley and Ivan are as people and so much more. You probably have seen or heard of "The Green Buses" in town that say Unified Party Bus on them. That is the creation and successful business that Ivan started. Ashley is probably the most kindest girls you will ever meet. She does some missionary work in Africa. In fact Ivan had to make Ashley's proposal very memorable. While Ashley was over in Africa she got a surprise visit from Ivan. She said she was very surprised to see him but still had no clue the reason for him to fly half-way around the world to see her was to ask her to marry him. It was perfect! Ivan and Ashley wanted their wedding day to be very unique in many different ways. One of which was they were the first to have a reception on the top of the Gander Mountain Parking Garage in a white tent.
Friday Jeff, Alex and I started at the salon. Ashley, along with friends and family, arrived by a white stretched limo at Planet Hair Salon to get their hair done. Following the ladies all hopped back into the limo and arrived at Westlink Christian Church where they did last few details to make-up and put on their dresses. Ashley's dress, as she described, was simple. Evan though it was simple it was very elegant and timeless. The dress was ivory in color with an organza A-line and ribbon detail. Ashley wore a spray of pearls in her hair that her mother maid for her. The girls all wore mis-matched styles that all were tea-length and chocolate mocha. The girls all looked very pretty.
Ivan and Ashley had chosen to see each other before the wedding and get all the pictures done beforehand. Ashley was very excited to see her groom, Ivan. At the time they had their private moment with one another Ivan had a surprise gift to give to Ashley. It was a ring. Not her wedding ring but another ring for her to wear to remember this special day by. As we were finishing up the group shots we get a phone call from Brett asking if he could come help. So not only did we have Alex and ourselves now their were 4 of us there documenting from different angles. Brett was also able to go over to the tent at the reception location and grab some detailed shots of the tent before guests arrived.
The ceremony was very beautiful with candles lit and dimmed lights giving a very warm atmosphere. The sanctuary was very full. As guests came in to be seated they walked by a "M" (for Moore) monogram made out of white and yellow rose petals. The unity candle was "handmade" by Ashley and Ivan. It was a bright pink mold of their hands formed together to make a heart shape.
After the wedding Ivan's dad drove up to the church in one of the flat nose green Party Buses. As Ashley and Ivan came out of the church handfuls of rose petals rained over them. Jeff and Alex hopped on the bus and documenting the excitement and big celebration. They went over to the Hyatt Regency where they were able to grab a few pics and then as the wedding party rode over on the bus to the reception a golf cart was delivered and Ivan, Ashley, Jeff and Alex hopped on to arrive at the reception.
The tent was packed with only standing room left for guests to cheer as Ivan gave Ashley a piggy back ride into their reception. Ivan had his green and brown cowboy boots on and Ashley had bright green slippers on. They went through the sea of people and made it to the cake table where they shared their first desert together as husband and wife. Lets just say they got each other pretty good with frosting. The wedding cake was very unique using chocolate colors and green. The groom's cake was the round logo of The Unified Party Bus. After the cake was the toasts and shortly following was the formal dances with the two of them together and then the parent dances.
Ivan made his special with his mom as during the middle of the song broke out and sang together a song that was special to them.
Some of the best vendors that we enjoy to work with were there. The dinner was served buffet style by Corporate caters that lined both ends of the tent with a bar in 2 corners. Tinley's crew with Jubilations did a great job decorating and making sure everything went smoothly. The whole AMM crew was their for the entertainment.
The night went on with guests mingling and dancing having a great time. Lets just say the whole top of parking garage was bouncing with everyone dancing (literally). We had a great time and please both of you stay in touch!
Tyff, Jeff, Alex and Brett
