Long story short, Ashley was sitting at dinner one night with bridesmaid Ciara and Taylor when Ciara mentioned her friend Jake who lives in Boulder was single (she believed). She mentioned she thought we'd be a great fit. About 2 weeks later Ashley reached out to Ciara to see if she had reached out to Jake about his dating status. About 1-2 days after that, fate came into place and we matched incidentally on Hinge! Jake had no idea who Ashley was, but Ashley had already a little background knowledge on Jake. We met for our first date at a Brewery in Denver and from day one knew it could be something long lasting. Two weeks later we met each other's families for Christmas back home, and the rest is history!
