We have been together since May 24th, 2005. We met during a time in our lives where we both were enjoying meeting new people and not particularly looking for a relationship. From this we became friends quickly. We cherish this fact because we knew that we both fell in love with our true & happiest selves. 

   The time we have been together may seem long but it has truly flown by for us. There is not a day that goes by that we don't make each other laugh. We have become good friends with so many people through this. We have had many experiences that make us better people & a stronger couple. These are true gifts that we would never trade for anything.

  Our ceremony & reception will be held at the historic Salem Cross Inn located in West Brookfield, MA on Friday, June 6th. 

  The ceremony will be outdoors & will begin at 4pm at the gazeebo with Salem Cross's beautiful gardens & meadows surrounding us. If the weather is not cooperating (keep you fingers crossed that it does cooperate) then the ceremony will take place within the Hexmark Tavern room

  Our Reception will take place within Salem Cross's Barn & Loft following cocktail hour. 

  We are very excited for everyone to share with us the amazing food prepared by the Inn! We will be incorporating their legendary Fireplace Feast within our meal which you can enjoy observing during the cocktail hour.

  Accommadations can be made within surrounding towns such as Brookfield & Sturbridge. More information on Salem Cross, including accomadations, can be found through their website: www.salemcrossinn.com

  We will be hosting a Jack & Jill for our wedding on Saturday, April 26th from 6pm to midnight. It will be held within Ashley's hometown at the Ludlow Polish American Citizen's Club: 355 East Street, Ludlow, MA. 

  Everyone & anyone is welcome to this event that we are excited to share! The more, the merrier! Many family & friends have been working hard with us to help prepare this! We will be having many many great raffles that we have been working on since Thanksgiving!  There will also be door prizes drawn with your ticket stub (so save your stub) Food will be prepared by yours truly with the help of our amazing parents, family & friends! Selected beer on tap will be provided while it lasts! And of course music and dancing! Music will be provided by our guest DJ, Ray's lovely Aunt Chris! :o) 

  Tickets are $20 a person and can be bought from us, the Chambers' family, the Aldrich family or mostly anyone from the wedding party! 

  We hope to see everyone there! Bring your friends! Its sure to be a great excuse for a fun night out for anyone! This event means a lot to us & will allow us to thank everyone in person! It will also allow us to get our minds off of the wedding planning (haha)! So please come out and have fun with us!!!

  We both will not be able to thank our families & friends enough for all their help through this. It has been and will continue to be a long yet exciting journey. We would not be able to get through all of this without the continuous support of everyone, especially our parents! Lynne & Rich (Ashley's mom & dad) Linda & Buzzy (Ray's mom & dad) Thank you so much! We love you! To our wedding party... Groomsmen: Jamie & Jeff (Ray's best men & brothers), Tony (Ray's best friend) & Mike (Ashley's best friend). Bridesmaids: Mary (Ashley's sister & maid of honor), Rosaleen (Ashley's best friend & maid of honor), Kristin (Ashley's cousin), & Crystal (Jeff's spouse & Ashley's best friend). You guys have not only helped set this into motion but helped shape who we are as a couple. Thank you for enduring this & what is yet to come. For standing with us on our wedding day, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Mostly everyone knows that since we have been together for a long time, there is really nothing we need for typical registry items & we are ok with this. This is why we created this honeymoon registry. Also, mostly everyone probably knows by now that we have been in the market to buy a house for a couple of years now. So basically, we have a lot going on!!! Therefore it would mean the world to us to be able to go on a honeymoon! With all the hustle & bustle of these big life events as well as the time we have spent saving, we both have realized the need for a honeymoon. And not just because it is what traditionlly comes after a wedding. We have fantasized about going somewhere tropical (which would be amazing) but in all actuality we don't really care where we go! This is why our registry is not very specific. As long as we have the time with just each other to escape to a beautiful place where we can forget about the hustle and bustle of life for a while!

  The big day will be here before we know it!
