The Floyd’s Magical Forest Day

Some weddings are simply beautiful. Others are powerful. Ashleigh and Gabe’s Indiana wedding was both.

This wasn’t your typical wedding day—it was the celebration of a love that had already been tested, strengthened, and deeply rooted in something real. On June 14, 2024, Ashleigh and Gabe quietly exchanged vows at a courthouse after Ashleigh’s cancer diagnosis. It was a deeply personal decision, one that marked the beginning of their married life—just the two of them, no guests, no details—just love and resilience.

Exactly one year later, on June 14, 2025, they finally celebrated the way they had always dreamed—surrounded by the people who had supported them every step of the way.

Their ceremony took place in the woods at Moonlit Farms, under a canopy of tall trees and warm string lights. Guests sat on hand-carved wooden benches, lining a soft burlap aisle adorned with delicate blooms in pale pinks, blues, and whites done by Bronwyn from The Wild Rose KY. The moment Ashleigh and Gabe met under the floral arch, there was an undeniable sense of peace—a stillness that only comes from knowing just how far you’ve come.

Ashleigh looked radiant, her joy palpable as she walked through the forest aisle in her flowing gown. Gabe, dressed in a tailored blue suit, couldn’t take his eyes off her. Every glance, every vow, every moment was soaked in meaning.

This day was about more than rings and first dances. It was about gratitude, about life, and about choosing each other again and again. From the emotional ceremony officiated by Gabe’s sister to the laughter shared during the reception, every detail reflected the strength of their story.

If you’re planning a wedding in Indiana and looking for a venue that offers a naturally romantic, woodland setting, Moonlit Farms is a hidden gem worth exploring. And if you're walking through something hard, let Ashleigh and Gabe’s story be a reminder: love really can be stronger than anything.
