Escape to the sleepy seaside town of Lewes, Delaware with this dreamy rustic glam wedding!
Fate swept in and brought native midwesterners, Ashley and Jacob, together! On July 6th, 2019 they said I do at a private seaside wedding surrounded by close family. The quaint, charming town of Lewes offered the couple the perfect location and aesthetic for their rustic glam wedding. The ceremony and reception were held at a turn-of-the-century barn, and the neighboring cottage, which has been turned into the most charming, yet modern, bed & breakfast.

Tell us how you met and all about the proposal
We met at Lambeau Field and sat down for drinks and dessert. Jake took me to the mall on my birthday where I thought we were going to get dinner and maybe a present when we arrived at the jewelry shop. Well boy was I surprised when the present turned out to be my engagement ring. I ugly cried.
How did you know they were “the one”?
There was no defining moment where I think either one of us knew. It was just a sense of inescapability which we both thought at first, until three weeks later when we got matching finger tattoos.
