Joshua and Ashley met years ago at a gathering in Joshua's hometown, Crookston, MN. They got to talking, sharing music interests and discovering mutual friends and other acquaintances. Neither of them spoke again after that night until years later, they finally re-met. This world isn't so large after all.
Joshua proposed to Ashley one evening while they were decorating the Christmas tree together at home. Joshua told Ashley, “You forgot one ornament.” She turned around and saw him holding a grey love bird ornament, wondering why it sounded like something was jingling inside, to her surprise it was the ring tied onto the ornament.
