At the chapel, the couple had a few select friends, including groomsman Viall, share special readings from their favorite romantic comedies:When Harry Met SallyandJerry Maguire.
“Nick didn’t need to look at the script once up there!” says Haibon. “And to hear Elan speak upon his relationship with us was truly incredible. He elaborated about how Ashley is a goldfish and she needed a fish bowl, and how I give qualities similar to a fish bowl. It sounds weird but it made perfect sense.”
Adds Iaconetti: “It was funny, it was tear-jerking. People just kept coming up to us and saying they’d never seen a ceremony like that before. It was so personalized to us and amazing.”
Fittingly, guests sipped on signature cocktails called “Ashley’s Tears,” “Jack and Rose” and “The Brady Punch” (in a nod to Haibon’s love ofTom Brady).
“Ashley and Jared were always in sync with everything they wanted for their wedding day. I wanted to give them the happily ever after that they both deserved. All three days of wedding events were created with thoughtful, extremely personalized details that celebrated their immense love of romance in movies and storybook fairy tales,” Williams tells PEOPLE. “Love is attention to the details, and they simply wanted every moment of the night to count. From the biggest to the smallest detail, their loved ones felt like they were super VIP and had stepped into a grand romantic movie. For that night, Ashley and Jared got to live out their wildest dreams to the fullest. Jared gave Ashley his final rose, but I gave them Rosecliff Mansion for their wedding.”

“What a day! With all hands on deck, we dressed the entire ballroom with hundreds of candles and lush florals in just one hour. The vision was to mirror Ashley and Jared’s modern-day love story in the ballroom’s traditional setting,” adds Birch Event Design’s president and creative director Josh Spiegel. “Understanding the couple’s inspiration, we avoided anything suggesting ‘party atmosphere’ and designed an intimate reception that screamed timeless romance. For their ceremony, we carefully added beautiful florals and greenery to the space without taking away from its inherent charm.”
Dunkin’ Donutsalso partnered up withBanga Portrait Studioto provide custom edible photo donuts as an extra-special treat, and Shake Shack surprised the bride and groom with a dance floor delivery of burgers and fries for their guests.

“I saw Nick and I was like, ‘Man, if anyone’s been through the ringer, it’s Nick!’ All my girlfriends are young and beautiful and don’t need the bouquet right now,” says Iaconetti. Adds Haibon: “He was like, ‘I’m gonna elbow people!’ He made a really nice one-hand catch. Let’s see how it works out for him!”
Reflecting on the fairy-tale day, the couple is over the moon with how everything turned out. “It was really fun and emotional, and it was everything I could’ve possibly imagined,” says Haibon.
