One of our goals is to travel and experience new things together - that led us to book our first international trip to Thailand, the land of smiles! The people, food, and low cost led us there and we had an amazing time. I knew I wanted to ask Ashley to be with me forever and knew I would do it on this trip, but didn't know when or where. Riddled with anxiety, I kept the ring on me the whole time and actively sought out secluded, unique or beautiful areas to make this momentous event as special as possible. That opportunity came while staying on Koh Yao Noi, a very sparsely populated and beautiful island. We walked out on the beach at low tide and climbed a rock structure normally covered by the sea to watch the sunset. I knew that this was the perfect time to ask the perfect person to spend the rest of our lives together exploring the world and growing old together.

Night had fallen - two handsome young men were stranded on the side of the road, helpless and afraid. As they sat wondering if this was the end, a vehicle filled to the brim with ladies pulled alongside the strapping young lads. Clearly, these hunks were no threat to them. After offering aid to the boys in this trying time, Trevor bravely offered himself to go with the ladies to retrieve the necessary artifacts to get the car in working order. The conversation was pleasant, the short ride was enjoyable, but the best part was the shy girl in the back seat. Trevor could not get her out of his head and searched far and wide to find out they attended the same educational institution! The pursuit was short and sweet, the relationship grew, was tested, and was strengthened like steel out of a furnace.
