We are so excited to be celebrating our marriage with our closest family and friends!

We met online using a dating app called bumble. Ashley messaged David first and opened with a question, “What is the most embarassing song you know all the words to? David responded with a Disney classic “A Whole New World” and Ashley answered with “Mmbop”. The conversations continued from there.

Ashley’s love for botanical gardens gave us a great reason to go to Fairchild Tropical Gardens on Saturday while we were in Miami for David's Sister-in-Law's bridal shower. We took a relaxing stroll through the gardens and butterfly exhibit for about an hour before we took an unmarked path to a beautiful sunken garden with a waterfall. It was just Ashley and David for about 15 minutes before another couple walked by and asked if we wanted a picture. David handed over the camera and put his hand into his guayabera pocket as he walked over to Ashley before bending down on one knee. Eventually, after her shock and excitement, she said YES! That wasn’t the only surprise David had planned. After returning back to his parents' house we kept stalling to toast to our engagement until we heard a knock on the door. Ashley's mother had driven all the way down from Orlando to also be there to celebrate the engagement.
