A Celebration of Love
Our Family
Teri & Fritz Spence
Ash's Mother & Step-Father
These two are one of a kind and together, they are a great team. They hold each other up in times of need. They let one another be individuals. They are constantly laughing at themselves and each other. They have inspired me to constantly strive to be successful in life. They have been so supportive of Lex and I, bringing her into our family. I am appreciative of their love and support. You can thank Teri's ingenuity for single handedly eliminating the need for a registry through her generous thrifting. WE ARE...thankful and feeling blessed to have them in our lives. We love you both. Ash-
Robin & Steve Shaw
Lex's Mother and Father
I am so thankful and proud to call these two my parents. They taught me how to navigate a family's ups and downs and together made a home for us to grow into the people we are today. When Ash and I came home together they welcomed her and supported us in so many ways. Dad fully initiated Ash into the family with more than one near-death hiking experience that we affectionately call 'Type Three Fun', a few car repairs and trips of a lifetime. The stories we have with these two could only come from adventuring and getting to know each other in multiple cramped remote cabins while it's raining outside. We are so thankful to have experienced the most love, endless support, and adventures with these two. We love you!
Lester & Tina Baker
Ash's Dad & Step Mother
These two love life together and are perfectly matched for each other. They are often the life of the party and welcome warmly all of my friends into their home when I visit. Wherever they are, so too is a great time, good people and good food. Tina has supported my dad making it to big life events for Lex and I. From a long drive to Montana through sand-storms, fueled by Funyuns and Beef Jerky to my graduation celebrations, I am so thankful to have shared memories together. They have huge hearts and spread love everywhere they go. I am grateful to have them as my parents. I love you both. Ash-
Emily & Aleea Shaw
Lex's Sisters
These two are everything a middle child could ask for in siblings. I learned so much from growing up with these two. I could not have made it this far and would not be this loveable without their gentle guidance and coaching towards the middle. Ash is very thankful that I have sisters with whom I can call and navigate our parent's peculiarities. Through life, we have shared accomplishments and pushed each other to be ourselves despite expectations. My first memories are of us tethered together running through the woods, annoyingly sharing everything, and teaming up on mom and dad. Take time to say hello at the wedding and meet two amazing people who definitely got me to where I am today.
Ashton & Aidyn Baker
Ash's Brothers
These two are my brothers. They are the only two other people in the world who know just what it means to be a Baker. Bakers are loyal, strong and have the most love for one another. They also are great cooks, the life of every party, and can kick it with the best of 'em at any gathering. I love my brothers and don't know what I'd do without them. Ashton, you have always been there for me through all the times Mom made us do laps around the neighborhood to navigating these last few years growing up together. Aidyn, I am so proud of you. As I have watched you grow up, I can see the bright young man you are becoming. I cannot wait to see you and spend more time together in the next few years. I love you both. Cheers.
