Everyone always has a silly or unique story of how they met their partner. Ours is no different. “Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do.” Diesman and Ashley have known each other since 3rd and 4th grade through his sister Tonya. His sister and Ashley shared a class at Turner elementary school that lead them meeting. Ashley officially met Diesman walking home from school with his siblings. Ashley thought he was bad and mean, whereas Diesman can’t remember when he met Ashley, but never the less years later Des and Ashley remained friends. They shared multiple classes in high school and one of which they shared the same love for Mrs. D’s. After 10th grade they did not speak or see each other much. Until one day when they both say neither can remember who reach out to whom first over Facebook, but they both say when they started to talk it was like they never stopped. After months of talking lead them to their first date in early 2011 at a Denny’s. Every weekend after that they went to the same Denny’s and got the same meal (Nachos, Raspberry Hushpuppies) in the same booth. One evening after a Denny’s date Ashley recalls when pulling out Diesman looked at her with a cheesy smile and stated “Did you forget to tell me something” in which Ashley replied “what? I LOVE YOU” Ashley recalls Diesman saying “Yup, I LOVE YOU TOO”. They sit and laugh about this moment because Ashely feels as if Diesman wanted to say it first but did not know how so tricked Ashley into saying it first. But either way they knew from that day forward they were in love and decided May 17, 2011 to make it official.
