I truly think that your wedding did exactly what you set out for it to do - to glorify God. I pray that your marriage continues to do that and you can continue to us your gifts to bring people closer to God!
Im getting married to my fiance on October 14th, 2023. Right now, I've been in teh process of getting as close to God as possible if not more than possible and God is also helping me in the process with viewing my wedding as a beautiful gift/partnership from God and to not idolize it. I LOVE keeping God at the forefront of everything :)
I’m a long time follower and I can tell you this is probably the first video of yours I have gotten teary eyed over! I feel God so present and overflowing in you two!! This message is so important and I pray all engaged couples see this video. I became saved after I was married and I hope to one day renew our vows with a more Christ focused ceremony to show His faithfulness through our marriage! ❤ Loved this video! ❤
So encouraged! The Lord’s been teaching me about letting go and hanging on tight to Him, and putting my hope in Him and only Him! While I am still waiting for the fulfillment of my desire to be in a Kingdom-focused marriage, this video made me so excited in looking forward to that day. It is and it will always be about Him! God bless you both! 🤩
WOW!! As someone who is currently planning a wedding this was so important. Thank you for sharing this and speaking life into me. I definitely have been focusing more on the detail. But, I want God to be glorified!
Hi Ashley and Johnny! I'm so happy for both of you and your wedding! I will be 41 next March so I'm still single and looking for the Godly man in my life who's passionate to God and His Word like I do. My parents are married for almost 43 years so I'm looking for a stable and mature relationship. Thanks for sharing your wedding video! I really loved it! May the Lord bless both of you in your marriage. Blessings and greetings from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Ashley you were so radiant! Johnny was so handsome! The wedding was beautiful. Your wedding makes me long for the Marriage supper of The Lamb. JESUS is the head, we are the body. We need to put JESUS first in all we do. We need to pray that when people see us, they do not see us, but JESUS in us. GOD bless you both! ❤️
Wonderful! A wedding is such a special thing in God's eyes so He wants people to celebrate and give all of the Glory to Him. I think you two did exactly what He wanted you to do!
I loved this video so much. Ashley and Johnny thank you for your transparency. And Johnny thank you for adding a little humor. Remember to always add that in your marriage ❤️
Just remember you have come from two totally different backgrounds and it will take prayer, time and even tears to mold your lives into one. Laughter is so important in a home. Another area the enemy will attack is finding fault with your in-laws….be on guard, you must find the beauty of each other’s family. You do marry the family also (you will understand as time goes by). Ash you have grown up so much and have become a beautiful woman, you have a husband to be proud of. God’s blessings be on your lives as you grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Ashley, I have been watching your videos for quite some time. They never deviate from the main point which is Jesus Christ. This was a beautiful video; explaining what all engagements and weddings should be about. I wish I had seen it before I married. The hope is that my husband and I will glory Christ in our marriage.
Loved this. Great points and I'm always so inspired by your maturity and wisdom. I hope you both have a long and happy marriage and you will if Jesus stays the center.
so beautiful, You are so right. My husband and I didn’t know AT ALL what we were getting into when we got married in 2010. We have gone through alot of growth and it hasn’t been easy. Keeping God at the center was not my focus at first. I was a christian but I wasn’t living out my faith.
This is timely. I am dating currently with a man of God and there are a lot of things I have learned. 1.) My significant other is an imperfect person and does not complete me. Yes I do look up to him and care about him, but I can’t put all my hope in him, but in Christ because people (including myself) will fail each other. 2.) Hope in all things but guard your heart. I used to get carried away with the idea of “the perfect date” or “the perfect person” and although dating is exciting, sometimes you have to meet in the middle with certain things depending what they are. You will have expectations of your partner. Your partner will have expectations of you. But remember to talk about your likes and dislikes and your boundaries, get to know each other. Take your time. 3.) Enjoy the process Sometimes the process isn’t easy, but it’s worth it! You will learn so much. And that goes for every season.
Thank you for being open and transparent. It definitely has helped me realise my own shortcomings and how much I need to surrender my own idolised version of relationships to God and let Him lead.
Thank you for sharing. A thought came to mind, Jesus and the wedding feast and His miracle wine was best. I also believe the wedding day and feast with Jesus and His Bride will be GRAND!!! Thank you for your vulnerability. You both are so blessed. ✝️💝🕊
I loved the quote from First Lady Michelle(we love her!!)!!! You have to ask the hard questions to yourself and your future spouse. Marriage is way more than a piece of paper. And it doesn’t begin on the wedding day either! God bless you two!! You give me hope that I might want to get married again!
Thank you for sharing. This made me remember something I was not proud of from my own wedding planning - many years ago. I just sent an email of apology to my sister! She's never brought it up, but just in case I need her forgiveness.
I LOVE your naturally curly hair Ash. Please never feel you have to tame it. It's goooorrrrrgeeeeeeeoooous☺️😊🪷 Thank you for speaking from the heart, so helpful.
I heard good advice and me and my husband are working on our 6th year of marriage but . Hearing the advice to NOT INVEST in a wedding day but in your marriage for the long run is way more important
My wedding was rushed. My husband and I had been together 35 1/2 years, and had not gotten legally married. We never had children and long story short, we planned our wedding for New Years Eve 2020 and my mom died, I couldn’t go thru with it. Then we planned our wedding for July 2021, then my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Small Cell Lung Cancer in April of 2021, so we ended up getting Married at the end of May 2021. My husband and I could have only 5 guests, plus the the pastor, and just us. My husband was no longer able to stand, and his cancer had spread to his brain and he didn’t want to wait because we were afraid his mind would be gone. I did not have my dream wedding, but I married my dream husband. In the end my husband died August 10th 2021, 4 days before his Birthday. I just told this wedding story to show that things go wrong, but you can still have a lovely wedding no matter what. Also my husband accepted Jesus for a second time. He was so excited to get well and go to church with me. Unfortunately he never had the opportunity to go to church. His diagnoses from his Oncologist said he had a minimum of one year and a maximum of three years to live. He survived four months, and I am so Thankful he accepted Jesus and that my Pastor had visited him to talk and pray. That was the second most happiest day of my life.
Thank you for being so honest about this !! I‘m going to get married in 2 months and for us it‘s so hard to decide like what is really important this day, I mean it‘s THE WEDDING but at the same time it is „only“ the wedding. We want a Christ centered wedding and we pray for that! I was at a Christ centered wedding (where I met my fiance) and it was so AWESOME. It was so mindblowing to see how good God is. Question: Do you had a wedding playlist and which songs did you play?😍
It's crazy but when I was a pre-teen i knew I would not ever be married. It was a feeling and today I'm 59 and never married. I'm very shy, quite an introvert, but it's òk. Sometimes I'm sad but then if God had the perfect man for me he would have made a way for us to meet.
The straight hair is cute on you Ash. I don't know what it does to your face exactly but it's doing something 😂😊 Also, film a new video with Taylor whenever you go home to discuss her new boyfriend😂. Just think it would be fun to hear an older sister's pov
Even though I don’t agree with the Obama’s, one thing Michelle does get right is that there is going to be conflict. I think even if there are people that we don’t always agree with, we can learn to listen to them too. The Lord can honestly use anything to get our attention and that it is honestly good advice to realize that there may be conflict, but you have made a covenant commitment when you decide to marry someone, Thank you for sharing. I also process things slower and can tend to be performance based.
Marriage is about husband and wife and and God. Wedding Day is for others. You can idolize your husband and make them a idol. Marriage is the real deal living with each other day in and day out Wedding is a reflection of the Bride groom ( Jesus coming for his Bride tbe church) Marriage is for God's glory
Marriage is more than a wedding ri g or wedding dress. You not perfect or your spouses. Marriage is temporary is not forever. God is the center. Keep God the center. We get married to fulful purpose |assignment.
A really open and honest discussion, thank you 😊, but I was a little concerned about the end part with the ‘pretend’ choke to Ashleigh’s neck 🫢 This is coming from someone (i.e., me) who was severely bullied by my brother growing up and in a past I was in a relationship with a controlling man. Actions (especially non-verbal) behaviours speak volumes. It’s about power and control. My prayer is that this is the only time ever that this is done to Ashleigh.
I really wanna be with somebody and have a family but i'm convinced that i won't get married cause im not good at talking to boys . I'm kind of stupid with boys. But really really wanna get married cause i don't wanna be alone...😭
As a Christian for many years I get your point. That being said, God loves us and wanta us to have a blast with our wedding and all that entails. Of course He should be the center in all we do. I was very surprised that you quoted what Michelle O said regarding marriage, she celebrates gay weddings, believes in abortion rights, she's a feminist and I'm pretty sure she isn't putting God first in her marriage or life based on the above. There are so many things I could say about the Obama's, how they live, the greed and money are just a few. I personally would stay away from anything the world says regarding how I should live or conduct my wedding. A little ranty but just talking truth. I do wish you God's blessings on your marriage🙏
Amen 🙏🏼 Ashley.put God first in everything ❤ amazing making a video so soon after your wedding, very brave. Me looking at your wedding video, made me feel this is very good for others (especially the young) to see that a relationship should be done the right way that is very important in Gods eyes 🎚️ forget being convicted about OBAMAS WIFE lol she don’t care about Jesus Christ 👎🏽 what’s in Gods word is what counts 👍🏽 Proverbs 18:22 Whoso finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favour of the Lord. Ps your hair looks better curly like your mothers lol Amen 🙏🏼 Ashley don’t worry about the end with him walking off lol to a man like myself that was awesome lol it’s a man thing, bigger things in life than a video 😂
Lol. Was it Michelle Obama? I know people dislike her but there was a clip I saw about what she said in regards to marriage that I agree with. It was in a video with someone was talking about divorce and bad reasons why people get divorced these days. I think she was right and this is separate from political agendas.
I truly think that your wedding did exactly what you set out for it to do - to glorify God. I pray that your marriage continues to do that and you can continue to us your gifts to bring people closer to God!

Never seen a more beautiful dress😍 God bless your sweet souls

Would love a video from you and Johnny of how you guys knew each other were the one! Love this video. Thank you both for always being so real 💛

I'm not a Christian, but that Michelle Obama quote was so so true! You must get clear with yourself whether you want a wedding or a marriage ❤
