Ashley & Anthony: Lucky in Love

Sometimes you just get lucky! When Anthony asked to meet Ashley for the first time, he had no idea she would be the woman he would say “I do” to at the altar 11 years later. Somewhere along the way he lent her his discman enough times for her to realize he was the man for her, and thank God she did! Most of us hope we can look back on our high school experiences, but these two have really gotten to share it all with each other.

Sometimes You Just Know…

When it came to picking the perfect wedding dress, Ashley only had to go to one store to find the one she wanted. Bella Di Sera in Montreal ended up showing her a dress that she knew was perfect one her first day shopping and with beautiful beading and a classic neckline we don’t blame her for saying “yes” right away.  Of course, she would be changing into the traditional Chinese dress (called a Cheongsam) that her mother wore at her wedding!

Two People, Two Backgrounds

Anthony is Filipino, so when Ashley changed into her other dress, he paid his respects to his culture as well. It was amazing to see how easily they were able to merge both sides of their lives into one beautiful wedding. They had both Filipino and Chinese dance performances, and formally introduced families at a Chinese tea ceremony.

“Lucky I’m In Love With My Best Friend”

It’s amazing to think about how many memories Ashley and Anthony have created already up until this moment, and so exciting think about how many more are to come. Excited to start their own family together,  the two had the first fun night (of many to come) with their fun-loving friends and family.
