Dan and Ashley met at the University of Dayton in 2021. Dan was a senior living in "The Castle" on Frericks, and Ashley lived just across the street at 1518 Frericks. They were friends for over a year until November 11, 2022, when something shifted. That Friday night, they realized they wanted to pursue a relationship with one another. Their first date was at Dewey’s Pizza on November 16, 2022, and just a few days later, on November 22, they made it official. On April 5, 2025, Dan proposed to Ashley in front of the UD Chapel—one of their favorite places on campus. Now, they’re so excited to return to that very same chapel to say “I do” on June 27, 2026. They can't wait to celebrate this special day with all of you!
