We met through a mutual friend, who happened to be one of Ashley's best friends, Bella. It was in the middle of October, at the bottom of the cafeteria stairs in our high school. We instantly clicked and became inseparable. Conversations sparked each and every day, until Mark finally asked Ashley to be his girlfriend on December 21, 2014❤
Mark, Ashley's best friend Meadow, and Ashley's mom all formulated a beautiful plan for the proposal. Meadow and Shawna went down to Fairport Beach and found a beautiful gazebo to set everything up in. They made a candle lit pathway that led to balloons spelling out "Marry Me" and at the end of the pathway, Mark waited to pop the question. All of this happened in front of a wonderful sunset and surrounded by a whole crowd of strangers. It was the most perfect night.
