Christopher Fredericks & Ashley Buford

June 21, 2019
She’s originally from Nashville. He’s from New York. And while she says they became “Sunday football friends” in their 20s, romance first clicked a decade later when they reconnected via Bumble. They dated, got engaged, and became parents to a cuddly little boy named Bear. When Ashley was ready to don her sumptuous pink wedding gown, they aimed for Charleston, where her sister lives, and booked Boone Hall Plantation, sight unseen. “We figured if it was good enough for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds,” says the bride, “it was good enough for us.” The couple, who live in New Jersey, exchanged vows that focused on committing to their family of three.
