Joshua and Ashley met at a youth group event 9 years ago. However, they didn't fall in love until 2017. After Ashley graduated from college, she started attending church with the Purintons, playing Dungeons and Dragons with Joshua and friends, teaching Joshua violin, and hanging out at the Purinton house. Eventually, they both fell in love with each other. It was like God removed the blindfold from our eyes, and they truly "saw" eachother!

On July 14th, Ashley went on a plane to Arkansas. After landing at the Dallas TX airport, she saw Joshua waiting for her. He was holding a sign that said "Ashley", and as Ashley rushed towards him, another sign came down saying "Marry Me?" After staring at the sign, Ashley nodded her head "Yes" and they both embraced and kissed for a long time (and tears were also shed).
