Ashley Batchelor & Patrick Fitzsimmons June 24, 2017
Patrick and I discovered our shared love for live theater and travel on our first date in March 2016. He took me to see the touring production of “Beauty and the Beast� at Walton Arts Center early in our relationship. We love seeing shows at Walton Arts Center, TheatreSquared and Arkansas Public Theatre.
We soon fell in love and began planning trips together. A live theater production was part of the itinerary in every destination. Some of our favorite shows were “Waitress” and “Aladdin” in New York, “Hamilton” in Chicago, “The Lion King” in St. Louis and “Newsies” in Tulsa.
I am so
In November 2016, we traveled to Walt Disney World.
lucky to have Patrick in my life. He is so sweet,
were having a photograph taken in front of the castle. He suddenly dropped to one knee and proposed. I was
smart, romantic and corny.
On the first morning at Magic Kingdom, Patrick and I
completely stunned and excitedly said “yes” while the Disney photographer captured the entire moment.
When deciding on a wedding location, we wanted to choose somewhere special to us, and Walton Arts Center was the perfect location. We were married there on June 24, 2017. This was the first wedding and reception at the arts center since its 2016 renovation.
Patrick and I wanted to share our love for musicals with our guests throughout the day. During the ceremony, a string quartet from Symphony of Northwest Arkansas played “Beauty and the Beast” while family members were seated. I walked down the aisle while the quartet performed “A Whole New World” from “Aladdin,” which is our song.
At the reception, each guest table featured a framed card with the name, date and place of a production that we saw together while dating. Another special part of the reception was when musician Heather Batchelor, my sister and maid of honor, performed songs for our first dance, my dance with my dad and Patrick’s dance with his mom.
It was the perfect day because every part of it just felt like us.
