Ashley Anne Mayes & Robert Jacob Cole

|| September 19, 2020 ||

Jake proposed to Ashley in Nashville, Tennessee on the last night before she moved to Destin, Florida. They met in Music City and did the long distance dating thing until Jake moved to Florida as well. When they discussed their future together they knew that they wanted to say “I Do” in their new hometown Looking for a wedding venue, Ashley and Jake fell in love with the Bayview Terrace in Sandestin. It was the perfect mix of palm trees, the bay ocean water, and an indoor air conditioned reception room with all glass windows. Their wedding coordinator, Jennifer Hankins, was such an outgoing, cheerful organized planner. She helped make everything smooth even with COVID-19 and Hurricane Sally, who made an appearance four days prior to the wedding day. From the beginning to the end of all the wedding planning, she helped turn a dream into a real life magical wedding day. Ashley and Jake loved supporting their local vendors in the Destin - 30A area for their cake, florals and DJ. Jake’s ninety year old Granddaddy served as their officiant. The ceremony was so meaningful and faith filled. They feel blessed for everyone who helped make their wedding day so perfect. Although the day is over, they love watching their wedding video, flipping through pictures and reliving the best day ever!
