Our story began in 2014 when we met through a mutual friend. At the time, neither of us could have imagined that one simple moment would change our lives forever. What started as texting each other slowly became something neither of us expected, yet something we now cannot imagine living without. From the very beginning, there was something special about the way we connected. We found comfort in each other's presence, joy in each other's laughter, and peace in simply being together. Through long conversations about our futures, shared adventures like concerts, and quiet moments that spoke louder than words, we began falling in love. As time passed, our love grew deeper and stronger. We stood beside one another through life's highs and lows, celebrating moments like our yearly anniversaries and supporting each other through Ashley's move to Virginia. With every challenge, our bond only strengthened, teaching us that love is not just found in grand gestures, but in the small, everyday moments of choosing each other again and again. What we cherish most about our relationship is the love we share. Whether we are taking Odin on walks, exploring new places like the peninsula while roller blading, or enjoying an ordinary day together, we have learned that home is not a place-it is whatever we are together. We knew we had found something rare when Jeremy told Ashley that he loved her. In that moment, we understood that forever was no longer just a dream, but a future we both wanted to build side by side. On December 10th, 2025, at home, Jeremy asked Ashley to spend forever together. It was a moment filled with overwhelming joy and so much love. Saying "yes" felt effortless because choosing each other has always felt like the most natural thing in the world. Now, as we prepare to begin this next chapter, our hearts are full of gratitude. We are so thankful for the journey that brought us here and for the family and friends who have supported us along the way. This is only the beginning of our forever. We cannot wait to continue writing our story, one filled with endless love, laughter, unwavering support, and a lifetime of beautiful memories together.
