Let's Party!

Eric and Ashley met at Eric's Aunt Nicki's house. They were both attending a birthday party for Ashley's friend Emily who is also Eric's cousin. Ashley walked into the backyard with a college shirt on, and Eric assumed she was 22 and in college. Ashley assumed the same. But he was 24 and she was 18. They talked and played games all night and then Eric gave Ashley his number, and they continued talking after the party before driving their separate ways.

Eric and Ashley are known for taking spontaneous road trips to nearby towns. Eric told Ashley to get dressed cause they were going on a day trip. So they drove down to Silver falls, hiked down behind the waterfall, and Ashley started taking pictures with Eric's camera. The conversation went as followed: Eric: You know you're my best friend right? Ashley(inner thoughts): does he want his camera back, am I getting it wet? Ashley: yeah... Eric: reaching into his pocket and semi on one knee* Ashley Anne Piltz, will you marry me? Ashley(internally) I knew it! Ashley: no way, no way, yes I will! Then she cried and nodded a lot into his chest. After that, they went to the Enchanted Forest theme park!
