William Jones & Jessica Ashby
Our Story
One night in mid June 2008, the girls and I had planned for a quiet night of drinks and girl only fun! By the end of the night, Will had gotten my phone number and that’s where it all started!
We went on our first date June 19, just days after meeting. It was as close to love at first sight as you can get. We dated only two weeks before we both knew that this was the forever kind of Love! We have had our ups and our downs, but always been there for each other. After dating for a little over a year and a half, Will got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. It was a day I will never forget. It’s kind of a funny story in fact. We had been over at our rental house, painting and cleaning, and we were both a real mess. Will told me a small fib, and said he was going to stop for some gas on our way home. He was actually stopping by my parents to ask for their permission/blessing. When he got home over 45 mins later, I kept hounding him “what took so long??” he never did answer me. Instead he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I was thinking, I am sitting here filthy, and this guy wants to marry me? He’s a keeper! 
We know both feel as though marriage is the most important commitment someone can make to another person, and take it very seriously. We are now in the last stages of planning our wedding and so extremely excited for everyone to be coming in from out of town and cannot wait to celebrate with everyone the union of two very special lives!
Our Wedding
Our wedding will take place at 6 o’clock in the evening, October 2, 2010 located at Blackberry Creek Retreat in Rogersville MO. It will be an outdoor ceremony, followed by an indoor dinner reception.
Travel Arrangements
We will be honeymooning in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. We will leave Oct. 4th and fly out of St. Louis, Missouri, and arrive in Cancun, Mexico that afternoon. We will be spending two weeks down there, in two different hotels. We were worried we may get bored by staying in the same place for more than a week, so we wanted to spice it up a little by switching hotels and seeing a new scenery. We are hoping to do a few excursion and have a wonderful time just the two of us.
