Ashley and Tom first met their senior year of college through their mutual friend Chris. They first connected when Tom came to visit Chris at Stockton University and they all went to the Mountain Bar in Atlantic City. A few Yuenglings and awkward dance moves later and sparks were flying! Ashley and Tom got to know each other over the next few months before finally making their relationship official on New Years' Day 2015. Since then it has been nonstop love and laughter.
In the midst of a pandemic, Tom was able to plan the perfect outdoor proposal. Every fall, Ashley and Tom have a tradition of going apple and pumpkin picking. Tom planned a day for them to visit Battleview Orchards in Freehold New Jersey in early fall on September 26, 2020. As they were picking apples Tom told Ashley to reach into a tree to grab an apple, when she turned around Tom was on one knee and asked her to marry him. We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you!
