Bye-Bye Fatigues! Hello Tuxedo!
Ashley and Jeff were just married in April — but they were engaged for three years! But unlike most couples who have long engagements to plan their ceremony, Ashley says that "six months after we met, Jeff was deployed to Iraq. For 13 months, he received a letter a week and tapes with my voice on them. We were lucky we got to bring in the unforgettable New Year together because he proposed! We waited to start our lives as husband and wife until he finished his service in the Army. So with his second tour survived, at last we got to say our vows!" But it was definitely worth the wait. As Ashley says, after that long engagement, "wedded bliss is remarkable!"
