A Buffalo Love Story

On April 24, 2022, Ashley and Kyle will stand before family and friends to renew the vows that they first spoke to each other seven years ago.

Ashley and Kyle first met in 2013. She had just moved home to Florida after living in Savannah, GA and he asked her out to lunch the first day that she was back at church. She accepted and a simple lunch turned into forever. The couple dated for about a year before Kyle proposed by painting “will you marry me” on the side of his dad’s airplane.

They were married in 2015 and embarked upon a series of moves with Kyle’s job with the Coast Guard. Over the next few years, Ashley and Kyle welcomed 2 beautiful children. 

When their youngest was just ten months old, Ashley decided to get a lump in her breast checked out. She had this lump checked out before but was always told that it was nothing to worry about it. However, a mammogram revealed something different and quite concerning. She was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes.

Ashely underwent an immediate double mastectomy and a surgery to remove her ovaries and her fallopian tubes, as well as, an aggressive treatment schedule. Despite the incredibly difficult road that she is traveling, she remains positive and hopeful. As Ashley puts it “when we were first planning our wedding, we were a ‘celebrate once’ kind of couple. Today, we’re focused on celebrating now.”

We simply adore this kind, beautiful couple and are thrilled to help them celebrate their love story. We found a wonderful new friend in MaryKate of Lovely Lemon Events and are tickled with the wonderful team that she has assembled.
