Castro Valley, CA

Our Love Story

We first met in June 2014. Ashley started her first job at Abercrombie & Fitch at Stoneridge mall in Pleasanton,CA and had first met Alec while trying to get her first schedule. While working together we got closer and even flirted quite a bit while Ashley was processing shipment in the back room. After many shifts together Alec asked for Ashley’s number and quickly asked her on a date. Our first date was in July 2014 at Sheri’s in Castro Valley, where Ashley had ordered Waffles and Alec ordered a steak but was too nervous to even eat!

Engagement Story

In June 2024 we went on a trip to Seattle for Ashley’s birthday and our 10 year anniversary. The weather wasn’t supposed to be great so Alec insisted as soon as we get settled in our room right after we landed that we should take a walk by the water and sightsee. After finding a spot by the water Alec insisted Ashley look at something far away which she did and while looking she noticed Alec struggling with something in his coat pocket. Next he pulls out a small red box and got on his knee and proposed and of course Ashley said yes!
