The story kind of started in 2010 when sophomore Billy asked freshman Ashley for her phone number in the training room of Stafford High School before they had cheer and football practice. Billy did not follow up with texting Ashley, but her mom did make sure they were not friends on Facebook. Although they had a lot of the same friends, Ashley and Billy did not interact much throughout high school and went separate ways; Billy went to Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and Ashley went to Virginia Tech a year later. Over the course of college and post-grad, Ashley and Billy found themselves back in Fredericksburg. Amidst the pandemic, Billy added Ashley on Snapchat and (somewhat confused) she accepted. The first snap he sent was a video of Riley eating a pup cup and Ashley couldn't resist the cuteness. A couple weeks later restaurants in Virginia reopened and Ashley accepted Billy's date offer since a dinner out was a new novelty. Every day after their first date, they figured out how to see each other between their busy schedules. Since then they have started building their life together and can't wait for all that their marriage will bring.
