About the Couple

Ashley, from Watertown, and Eric, from Fort Atkinson, first crossed paths at a party. Although a little time passed, Eric eventually found Ashley on Snapchat, and the two started talking. What began as a simple conversation soon turned into something special.

Both caring and easygoing, Ashley and Eric found themselves enjoying each other's company and building a relationship filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

The Engagement

When Eric came into Ashley's life, she wasn't expecting to find someone so special. After spending time watching movies, going on drives, and getting to know one another, their relationship quickly began to blossom.

About two months later, Eric planned a trip to the apple orchard. With fall arriving, changing leaves, homemade apple pie, and pumpkin carving on the agenda, it sounded like the perfect day together. As they walked hand in hand searching for the perfect apples, Eric stopped beneath a beautiful tree. Ashley thought he had spotted an apple, but instead, he turned toward her, looked into her eyes, and asked her to be his girlfriend. Of course, she said yes!

As the months passed, their relationship grew stronger through family holidays, a first trip to Nashville, motorcycle rides, and bonfires. Eric knew he wanted to spend forever with Ashley, so he made sure to ask her dad for his blessing.

The perfect moment finally came during a family vacation in St. Germain. While visiting the beautiful Bond Falls, Ashley was busy taking pictures of the scenery when Eric quietly stepped behind her, got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him. Without hesitation, Ashley said yes!

The Big Day

Ashley and Eric celebrated their wedding day with summer colors of steel blue and navy blue, paired with a rustic theme. One of the most meaningful touches was their memory table, honoring the loved ones who could not be there in person but will always hold a special place in their hearts.

Having attended weddings at The Hay Loft Barn in the past, Ashley had fallen in love with the barn and knew it was where she wanted to begin this next chapter of their lives.

Congratulations, Ashley & Eric! May your life together be filled with beautiful memories. ❤️

XO The Hay Loft!
