We have known each other since middle school, and started to date in high school. We did four years long distance during college, where Patrick went to the University of Kentucky and Ashlei went to University of Delaware. During the four years, we visited each other as much as possible. Ashlei even got to experience her first Kentucky basketball game and SEC football game! After graduating, we got our first apartment together and started our next big chapter. Favorite Memories We love making new memories together. Some of our favorite memories include going to Hawaii our senior year of college, and hiking in Colorado Springs. We are both soccer fans, and love going to games or watching at home. On our free time, we enjoy spending time outside playing soccer or pickleball, spending time with family and friends or just relaxing at home watching true crime shows or Kentucky games.

We planned to have a nice date night walking around Longwood Gardens and to get dinner. Patrick planned the whole thing and ended up proposing in front of the fountains with family and friends hiding on the bridge above watching. It was the perfect day! This day has been a long time coming and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all. We hope to see you all on our big day!
