MAY 2022 ❤️ Ashley had just graduated from grad school in April and planned to move to Appleton/Green Bay/Sheboygan searching for job prospects. She was also online looking for relationship prospects at the same time. Brennen had just earned his degree as well and was subbing at schools in Appleton and Kaukauna looking for something more permanent, for his career and in a partner. They began talking and began going on dates through most of May and June. By July, Ashley brought Brennen home to meet the family making it official. JULY 2022 🌲 First trip to Marquette, MI together. Ashley attended grad school at Northern Michigan University located in Marquette. It’s a special place to Ashley and she couldn’t wait to show Brennen all the sights. Ashley also got a job in Sheboygan as a behavior therapist. Brennen and Ashley would visit each other as much as possible as Brennen was still in Appleton during their first year of dating. OCTOBER 2022 🏈 First Packer game together. Both Brennen and Ashley are big sports fans. They’ve attended a number of sporting events from NFL, MLB, NBA, NCAA volleyball and football and WWE, and have traveled for events in Houston, Indiana, Chicago and Minnesota. SEPTEMBER 2023 👫 Brennen got a job in Plymouth teaching elementary phy. ed. He moved in with Ashley in Sheboygan but was crazy enough to still coach football in Appleton. AUGUST 2024 💍 Brennen likes to keep busy and Ashley likes to go on adventures so it wasn’t too out of the norm for Brennen to plan a trip to Marquette before football/school started. It was meant to be a relaxing weekend with no plans besides some exploring, a nice dinner and go to Ashley’s favorite spot in Marquette. During dinner, Brennen was way too relaxed so she had no suspicion of a proposal. When they got to Ashley’s favorite spot, she was busy taking pictures of the scenery until she realized he was on one knee and he popped the question. Little did he know Ashley’s dad spilled the beans to her that Brennen asked him for his blessing earlier that month. She knew the ring was coming but obviously didn’t know when. May 2025 🏡 In the midst of wedding planning, they were crazy enough to buy a house. They found a perfect home with a big backyard, a basement for Brennen and in Appleton close to family to start their marriage together. October 2026 💕 Brennen and Ashley have loved being so close to family since moving to Appleton. Brennen teaches in Fond du Lac and continues to coach football and basketball. Ashley is a behavior analyst in Oshkosh. It’s been fun, crazy, stressful planning this big day but we’re so excited for the next chapter in our lives. We’re expecting…. everyone to have a great time! 😋 Can’t wait to see everyone!
