Ashley Force and Daniel Hood tied the knot in beautiful Lake Tahoe. Ashley wanted a winter wonderland theme for her wedding and her wish was granted as snow began falling.
The day of her wedding creating a magical backdrop for the guests including Brandon and Tracey Bernstein, Del and Connie Worsham, and the Tim Wilkerson family.
"It was snowing on my wedding day and my photographers said they didn't care that we were going to go out and take pictures outside in the snow," said Force Hood. "I am glad they did that now but at the time I was freezing and I would have liked to have been in my firesuit.
"It was kind of fun to wear a dress. I thought I might not like it as much as I did. I loved the dress I picked but I was kind of dreading being in a dress and heels all night. I was thinking this is going to stink and I am going to be so miserable and uncomfortable but I think that since it is your one day in your life that you do that you try and enjoy it.
I snuck in and wore, not race boots but, Ugg boots kind of the same style. That made it a lot easier to take off the heels after a while and slip on those boots."After spending an entire race season planning the big day Force Hood was pleased with both her season finish and her wedding day.
"It was really my dream wedding. I look back and there is not one thing that I really think that went wrong. Everything went as we had hoped. All the bridesmaids and the groomsmen got along. I can't believe that we pulled it off.
I had so many people telling me it wasn't going to go perfectly and things would go wrong. My memories of that day are everything did go perfectly. I can't wait to see the pictures and to have those memories with our normal family and our race family. It was a fun experience and I am so thankful that it went as perfectly as it did. We were really, really excited."
