🌟 Andrew & Ashley Cobb ~ November 20, 2021 🌟 . Andrew & Ashley Cobb wed on November 20, 2021 at Sunset Farm in Union, SC. The day was magical and perfect for a princess - now Queen.

It's about being suspended in a moment with that special person, who offers compassion to your heart. That special someone you're proud to hold and be held by.

TWO 2021 AVK Dance Studio Daddy-Daughter dance performances!
