The One Where We Met

Clubwaka

It all began in the sand. No, not the beach...sand volleyball courts to be exact! In the summer of 2019, Matt and Ashley were both asked to join a friends volleyball team in the Clubwaka social league in South Windsor, CT. As it turns out, they happened to join the same team. From there they became teammates and friends. It wasn't until the following summer when Matt slyly acquired Ashley's phone number to make sure she got home from a party safely that things began to turn from platonic to romantic. Matt asked Ashley on their first date September 18, 2020 where they shared drinks and a great time at The Elbow Room in West Hartford. By December they knew this was the start of something special and they were both all in. Now 5 years later, we were proved to be right, as we get ready to be married and celebrate with all of you, our favorite people! We can't wait!!
