We’re Married

HOW WE MET: Dave & Ashley knew of each other through mutual friends & occasionally bumping into one another. Thanksgiving Eve 2015, Ashley’s friend Erin suggested they visit a bar they had not frequented in sometime. The moment they walked in Dave caught Ashley’s eye. After locking eyes a few times, Ashley decided to get bold & strike up a conversation. The two got to know each other over a few drinks, & at closing, Ashley suggested Dave message her on social media if he was interested in getting to know her further. Over the next 6 months the couple formed a friendship & their relationship fell into place. After 2 years of dating Dave realized Ashley was the one & he would soon purpose. THE PROPOSAL: With help from Ashley's cousins Kate & Suzi, & Ashley's best friends (Jamie, Jenna, Caity, Nikki, Sue, & Kristen) Dave proposed to Ashley in their home after a romantic, yet hectic (to say the least) dinner. Looking back, the couple laughs at everything from rain spoiling Dave's first plan, which was to purpose in the Rose Garden at Delaware Park, to Ashley’s cousins locking the pair out out of their home. At one-point Ashley even thought the house was on fire, as the hallway smelled like it was burning (it was just the tealights arranged in a heart). Looking back the couple would not have changed a thing about their day. The picture of Ashley’s "ugly cry" is proof that it was perfect. The couple further celebrated their new engagement with their closest family & closest friends with later that evening. As you know, due to the pandemic, Ashley and Dave married with an intimate ceremony on their original wedding day 08.29.2020. However, the couple looks forward to celebrating their love with all of you during an evening reception on 09.10.2021.
