From their Alabama wedding photographer, Ashley Sargent Photography: Growing up in a small town in Alabama, Erica never dreamed her Prince Charming would be awaiting her 1,000 miles away in Ontario, Canada. On a whim in 2013, Erica decided to move with her friends to Huntsville, Alabama. Not knowing that in just three short weeks she would be introduced to Doug through mutual friends. Doug was the captain of the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s Division 1 Hockey Team.
They quickly became best friends spending almost every day together. They realized their relationship would be one defined by great distances and obstacles; spending significant amounts of time apart and having to board a plane just to visit one another would seem difficult to most. But, to these two, it was proof of just how great their love is for one another.
Doug graduated from UAH in May 2015 and moved back to Ontario. This left many unanswered questions for Erica about their future together. Little did she know, he had plans to soon make her his fiancé. In the summer of 2015, while Erica and her family vacationed to Canada, Doug secretly set up the engagement of a lifetime. He proposed in front of both families on June 18th, 2015. They have become the definition of true love conquering all. Through all the distance and separation they have faced, they have found a way to make their love flourish where most would fade. They plan to become The Reid’s at The Read House on July 16, 2016.
