Senior year of high school they became friends while going through EMT class at VoTech. After graduation they stayed in contact and eventually went through fire school together. In April 2012 Jared surprised Ashley with tickets to a Red Wings vs. Blackhawks hockey game for her birthday. The weekend of that trip they realized there was so much more to their relationship. 10 years, 3 dogs, a house, multiple job changes, and many trips to Universal later, Jared proposed in Diagon Alley by sneaking the ring onto her wand. Universal has always been a happy place for them both, so it was only natural for Jared to propose there and for the couple to have their engagement photos done there too. After searching for somewhere near home to get married it became clear to the couple that a Michigan wedding just wasn't going to work for them. It was decided the only logical place to get married is in their happy place on their favorite holiday with their closest friends and family. We look forward to celebrating a marriage 10 years in the making with us on Halloween at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando.
