11.12.11 - Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel - Erie, PA

Ashley and Jason's long romance dates back to their junior high school years together. In fact, on the first date, Ashley had to pick Jason up, because at that time, he was only 15 and couldn't drive yet!

On Saturday, the biggest day of Ashley and Jason's lives had arrived...their wedding day! As guests arrived, they couldn't help but notice how breathtaking the Regency Ballroom at the Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel was. Ashley had chosen her uplighting in white, which I must say was beautiful. After the formal introductions, the bride and groom made their way to the dance floor for their first dance, "Me And You" from one of their favorite artists, Kenny Chesney. Following some heartfelt toasts from Ashley's sister, Mackenzie, and Jason's Best Man, Mario, and prayer from Ashley's Aunt, Cathy, it was time to enjoy a scrumptious sit down dinner. Ashley and Jason took the time to prepare a customized dinner music list, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The cake cutting soon followed, then it was time for everyone to don their 'dancing shoes', which were comfortable sandals! It sure didn't take long for the dance floor to fill up and remained full for the rest of the night! The formalities finished off with the bouquet and garter and honeymoon dance. Then, more dancing! What a great time for an absolutely perfect couple!

My thanks go out to Lisa, Karen and the always professional and gracious Bel-Aire staff. Their hospitality is always very warm. I also want to acknowledge photographer Paul Ferrer, who journeyed in from Akron, OH to capture the event in pictures. Of course, I am very grateful to you, Ashley and Jason, for choosing me as your professional host and wedding entertainment.
It was such a blast being a part of the event! I know you'll certainly be happy to escape the chill of the northeast to get away for your Caribbean Cruise! Have fun and thank you again!
