Ashley and Jeff first met in May 2017 when Ashley started working at Multi-Pack Solutions, where Jeff was also employed. It was not love at first sight, as they were both in relationships with other people. On top of that, they butted heads at work; particularly because Ashley worked in Quality and Jeff was an Engineer. After having to work together on multiple projects, they set aside their differences and became friends. At the beginning of 2018, Jeff and Ashley both found themselves out of their previous relationships. After countless requests to go on a date, Ashley finally told Jeff she would sleep on it.... the next day they had their first date going to see a movie. They both knew after that first date, there would be many more to follow. Next came Jeff introducing his children, Avery and Dylan, to Ashley and everyone starting to spend time together getting to know one another. Throughout that year, Jeff and Ashley introduced one another to their families through family visits, family reunions, weddings, Mountain House events, and holidays. Fast forward to December 2018, Ashley purchased her first home, with the support of Jeff; a life goal that Ashley wanted to accomplish on her own before marriage. By February of 2019, Jeff had moved in with Ashley, and the kids had a room of their own. This year brought many fun adventures - from camping trips to beach week vacations. The most exciting adventure began with the surprising news of their pregnancy! Shortly after, Jeff and Ashley were on the way to Pawleys Island to visit with her family, and Jeff decided they should go by Huntington Beach State Park on a whim to take their dog, Tucker, for a walk. After walking down a trail that led to a pier overlooking the marsh. Jeff got down on one knee and proposed! Once they made it back to the end of the walkway, Ashley’s family was waiting to surprise and celebrate with them. On March 27, 2020 their son Cooper Auld Testerman was born. Now on to the wedding!
