Braydan and Ashley met while they were both continuing their education at Texas A&M University-Kingsville. They lived in the same apartment complex at the time, Ashley was a sophomore and Braydan was a junior. Braydan would always seem to walk his black lab, Riley, at the same time that Ashley would walk her pit, Nova. One day when the two bumped into each other with the dogs Riley picked up Nova's leash and ran with it! They both laughed about it and starting talking. The rest is all history!
