Matt and Ashley's love story began in 2019 when they met online. For their first date, they headed to La Casa Restaurant at Crab Meadow Beach. Just as they sat down, an elderly man strolled by, and Matt’s face lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. "Herb! Bob Savello’s son!" he exclaimed, enthusiastically waving. Ashley, meanwhile, sat there blinking in confusion as Matt eagerly chatted with this mystery man who was clearly trying to leave. She couldn't help but wonder... was this going to be the longest dinner ever? After dinner, the two took a stroll along the boardwalk, challenging each other to name all the state capitals (thrilling, right?). As they made their way to the sand, everything suddenly felt light and easy—just like it was meant to be. And then, in the sweetest moment, Matt turned to Ashley and asked, “Can I hold your hand?” To which she, of course, replied, “Duh!”
