We’re getting married!

Our love story began way back in middle school, before we ever thought one day we would be in love. We had a science class together in 8th grade and had never stayed in touch until much later on in life. Justin moved to Rockford, IL from Wheaton, IL when we were Sophomores at Wheaton North High School. After high school, Justin decided to join the Marine Corps and Ashley went on to Northern Illinois University to get her teaching degree and later on went back to school to pursue a career as a Dental Hygienist in 2014. We began communicating on Facebook about good songs/music that we liked and thought the other might enjoy as well. From there, we began talking more often about things we both enjoyed (like the Cubbies, hiking, adventures/traveling, family etc) and we realized how much we had in common! At the end of summer 2016, Ashley asked Justin if he wanted to get drinks (Ashley did NOT know it was a date) and from there, the rest is history!! 2 years worth of memories later and we've gone to Cubbies games, many hiking trips, Mexico, ran the Chicago half marathon, moved to Texas, ran the Irving marathon, introduced 2 kittens to our family, and got engaged in July 2018!! Justin popped the question at one of our favorites spots along the Riverwalk in Downtown Naperville, and Ashley said YES! We are beyond excited for this exciting new chapter to begin!
