Ashley + Zeb
An Intimate Destination Wedding at The Castle Vineyard
Ashley and Zeb’s Wedding at The Castle Vineyard
Ashley and Zeb hosted an intimate wedding celebration for family and friends at the beautiful Castle Vineyard in Wisconsin. The entire day was sweet and special. Ashley and Zeb enjoyed a full weekend with their closest family and friends and then enjoyed a meaningful and emotional ceremony. The blustery autumn weather brought a beautiful golden sunset overlooking the vines, and it was stunning. Overall, Ashley + Zeb enjoyed a perfect day filled with joy, happy tears, and a rocking dance party.
The Proposal:
From Zeb: “She would never expect for me to propose on my 40th birthday in Daytona Beach Florida. Close family and friends were getting ready for my birthday dinner, and while she was in bathroom getting ready, my best friends were writing the message in the sand 17 stories below our condo balcony. We avoided a few close calls (and in front of everyone, pointed to dolphins in the ocean so she could view the “Will You Marry Me” message in the sand). Then I got down on one knee and proposed. She had no clue it was coming. It was a magical moment that I will never forget.”
From Ashley: “Zeb had told me that when he proposed, it will be private and just the two of us. We were heading to Dayton for family/thanksgiving celebration and the thought of Zeb proposing never crossed my mind. I didn’t even do my nails!! Zeb’s 40th bday was ultimately the best day of my life because we were surrounded by those closest to us, especially our 3 children. I remember being in shock that it was REALLY happening. And I didn’t even look at the ring at first. Once I looked, I blurted out “HOLY CRAP!” I mean, the ring was stunning, huge, and fit perfectly. I knew I was special, that’s for sure! I feel so blessed that he chose his 40th b-day to propose and told me that my “yes” was the best gift he’s ever gotten.”
