Ashlee Ammons & Adam Halpin – Alabama Weddings

October 7, 2023 – Birmingham

“Our love story is a remarkable tapestry of triumph, serendipity, and the magical confluence of two diverse worlds. It’s a tale that began in the heart of Birmingham, where destiny intertwined the paths of two souls from opposite hemispheres. My journey is one of resilience and groundbreaking achievements – from being the inaugural intern for LeBron James to becoming the 38th black woman to raise over $1M in venture capital. Yet, amidst professional strides, love awaited post a self-imposed dating hiatus during the global pandemic. On the other hand, Adam, with his roots in a charming town north of Sydney, found his way to me against all odds.Our worlds harmoniously collided, and love blossomed, leading to a heartwarming engagement on October 28, 2022 – a date etched in my memory as it also marks my birthday. This joyous occasion set the stage for a beautiful celebration of love when we exchanged vows in the presence of cherished ones who traveled from various corners of the globe.The serendipity continued to grace us as we celebrated our love and life together. On October 28, 2023, we came full-circle, celebrating my birthday along with Adam’s at the very venue where our engagement unfolded. This time, the joy doubled as Adam embraced a new chapter of becoming a US citizen. With our parents by our sides from Sydney and the US, the day was a beautiful blend of love, family, and the promising beginning of shared dreams and endless possibilities.Our story is not just a testimony of love transcending geographical boundaries, but also a narrative rich with moments that signify hope, resilience, and the beautiful surprises life unfolds when least expected.” – Ashlee

“When you get married, make sure it is a heck yes! When you find the person who makes you say heck yes, you will have zero nerves, become present, and fully enjoy the day no matter what small thing may go wrong.” – Ashlee
