In 2018 Ashley filled out a survey so the second year physical therapy students could choose their first year "buddy". Alex chose Ashley's survey because she liked the Lumineers and the Giants. Ashley was happy to learn that her buddy was also a tutor in the PT program. Pretty soon, Alex started tutoring Ashley most weekends. There was a PT program Halloween party where Alex and Ashley teamed up for a few rounds of drinking games. Ashley thought that her poor performance during these games had for sure scared Alex away. The next day he texted her and asked if they could get a beer after their next tutoring session. That was their first date at New Glory Brewing. They got food from a taco truck and the woman working the truck asked them if they were married. The rest is history!
