Our Love Story

The day I met Kenny Owens, will be a day I will NEVER forget! It was in June of 2004; June 19th to be exact! I was going through a tough time in my life & needed to just get out! So...a couple of my friends/cousins & I decided to ride to, what was then, Gametime to "parking lot pimp" LOL! "Parking lot pimp" is what we did when we decided to just "chill" in the parking lot of the club and not go in! I know...sounds a little crazy...but that's what we did when I was 19 years old LOL!! First of all, I have never been the type of girl to “holla” at a dude, but this particular night, I was in rare form & was having so much fun! So, I spotted this SUPER CUTE, light-skinned dude with braids that had on a green jersey! I was determined to get “the boy in the green jersey” phone number & was not leaving Greenville until I got it!! Long story short, I got his number in the parking lot of Gametime & we became friends. We went on one date & that was it! We were just what I said…friends...no more, no less! We carried on this friendship for about three years off & on...I thought he was one of the best friends I’d ever had! We talked about EVERYTHING! In October of 2007, I ran into Kenny in his uncle’s club, Alley Gator’s. We had not talked or seen each other in a long time! I agreed to go visit him one Saturday night after that just to “chill” & that “chill” turned into something serious! I never expected it to go as far as it did, but you cannot run from true love when it finds you. We started out “talking” & made it “official” on January 18, 2008. A couple of weeks shy of our 4 year anniversary, Kenny asked me to be his wife! Another day I will NEVER forget…December 25, 2011…a very special Christmas Day!!! I wrote the following words in a poem to Kenny ("Kay") for Valentine’s Day in 2008 that sums up the love I have for the Love of My Life, my fiance: “…The key to my heart,I thought I threw away. Some how, some way you got it, And now I’m here to stay. I almost missed out…The thought brings chills over me. But timing and patience,I learned is the key. One last time, I’ve fallen in love. But this time I truly believe You’re my angel sent from above.”
Enjoy our Love Story!!!

GET READY…..GET SET….GO!!! TIME TO START PLANNING!!!

So…we have set a wedding date for September 8, 2012.  2012???  Yes, I said 2012!!! In which, means that I only have 8 months to plan a wedding and I am about to be minus 1 month already; is January really almost over?!  Ok Ash…time is moving & it is not going to slow down for you!  Ok…I’m on it!  Well…we do have our wedding party finalized….step # 1!  I’ve always known that we were either going to have to have a big wedding or a small wedding….NO IN-BETWEEN!  So, guess what we decided on???  BIG!!!  We have a wedding party of 44 people.  Woo…a lot of people right?!  It still don’t top my sister’s wedding party of 54 haha (Faye...you still get the prize for the biggest wedding party ever)!  Why so many people?  I'm glad you asked!  Kay and I both are a part of big families.  Just to give you an idea of how big, both of my parents have 14 siblings (which means I have 28 aunts and uncles) and Kay's dad has 8 siblings.  Kay's mom has 5 siblings.  So, how could we not have a big wedding party?!

First things first…will all of my bridesmaids say yes?!  Well, of course they will (fingers crossed)……
