What an amazing journey the last few years have been. We are thrilled to celebrate with each of you in Asheville this fall. We met through mutual friends and quickly became friends. In true Ashley fashion, she showed little interest for about 6 months. :-). Finally, after she went on vacation to Bali with some girlfriends, she reached out to Charlie out of the blue with interest. Charlie mentioned he was going to Prague for New Years and that Ashley could meet him there if she so inclined…

Surprisingly Ashley accepted the invitation and packed her bags… It was a cold winter, even by Prague standards. The two enjoyed spending time touring Prague with couple of close friends and then driving to Austria and attempting to ski the Austrian Alps (Ashley majorly failed and broke her rib on the second run). Even still, the two had a fantastic time that weekend adventuring through Austria, Germany and Czech Republic. That’s when Charlie asked Ashley… “so are we going to do this or what”, and that’s where our love story began…. Over the next year or so, the two enjoyed bi-coastal living, splitting time between San Francisco and Charlotte, flying back and fourth for a while before officially deciding to move in together in January, 2018. Charlie has two amazing sons Evan (9) and Drew (7). Over the last couple of years, the four have had so many fun filled adventures together and have truly enjoyed become a family. They enjoy just about everything outdoors, mountain bike riding, rock climbing, going on hikes (of course finding the best hiking sticks ever), or simply snuggling by the fire watching movies. Evan and Drew love spending time in California as well, Drew is already dead set on going to UCLA! Ashley and Charlie got engaged in San Francisco last fall at Lands End Trail in San Francisco where they love to hike and enjoy some of the best views of the Bay. They are excited to make their new family official this fall and to see you soon!
