Ashley and Michael’s love story began in 2015, in the most unexpected place: a neighbor’s house. From the very first moment, Ashley was instantly drawn to Mike. Funny enough, when she walked up to say hello, he completely ignored the greeting and instead asked if this was her house. Not exactly the smoothest introduction—but somehow, that moment sparked a conversation that would last the entire night. By the end of that evening, something undeniable had begun. What started as a simple introduction quickly turned into talking every day, getting to know one another in ways neither of them expected. Ashley’s dad had always believed no one was ever quite good enough for his daughter and thought he might be able to scare this one off too—but not Mike. From the start, Mike made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere. At first glance, Ashley and Michael couldn’t have been more different. Over time, however, they discovered something beautiful: opposites truly do attract. With different personalities, perspectives, and ways of moving through the world, they somehow balanced one another perfectly. Where one is strong, the other is steady. Where one dreams, the other grounds. Their journey together hasn’t always been easy—and like any real love story, it has been shaped by life itself. Through challenges, growth, patience, and moments that required courage, they continued to make the same choice: choosing each other again and again. Now, nearly ten years later, Ashley and Michael are preparing to say “I do,” grateful for every moment that led them here. With full hearts, they are excited to continue their Journey to Jones, choosing each other every day, forever. They are so grateful to be surrounded by their friends and family on their special day and can't wait to see you in New York in July!
