Brad Henry was one year ahead of Ashley Craft in school, but near far out of sight. They both grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida and have known each other since childhood. They truly enjoy family and an easy going, laid back style, so it's no surprise that when Brad proposed they were at home, watching a move. He picked up the ring the day before and was so excited he just couldn't wait any longer!

Though Biltmore's newest event venue, Lioncrest, was still under construction during their first site visit, Ashley and Brad knew it was the perfect location for their reception. Just days before their wedding, they waited on pins and needles for the venue's final state board approval. In the end (or the beginning, rather!), the newly married couple were the very first to enjoy the spectatcular new addition.

Brad and Ashley can add "where a bride married a groom", to the growing list of cherished memories embeddedin the lush landscape of the North Carolina mountains. Asheville turned out to be the perfect setting for Ashley and Brad's wedding, much to their delight of their family and guest, creating a whole new generation of good times to come. ASM
