- Ashley's Point of View- At the time I was working second shift and never got time to go out during the week. Luckily, I got off early the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Monica and I decided to go out to a bar in Chester we had been wanting to try out. We were sitting at the bar enjoying the band when a guy (Adam) came over and asked if we wanted to play pool. Monica said yes, I said no, but luckily she won out and we went over to play pool. When we walked over to the pool table I saw Adam's friend and immediately went over to introduce myself. He said his name was Nathan but everybody called him Texan. From that moment on we were inseparable.

-Ashley's Point of View- We had gone on a vacation to the southern Caribbean. Our 5th day on the cruise we were docked at Curacao and would be there all day. We had taken a bus tour, gone to a private beach and walk all around the city of Willemstad. It was a little before sunset and I was starting to get tired. We stopped to get a bite to eat before crossing back over the Queen Emma bridge to go back to the cruise ship. On the way over the bridge, I was walking a little fast, ready to get back and relax. Nathan told me to slow down and he stopped in the middle of the bridge looking out at the ocean. I wasn't sure why we were stopping and started walking to the other side of the bridge to take a picture of all of the colorful buildings while I had the chance. When I turned back around I tried to take a picture of Nathan on the other side of bridge but a lady was standing in between us. She noticed and offered to take our picture. I went to pose with Nathan and turned and saw he was down on one knee with the ring out. He asked "Will you marry me?" All I could do was shake my head. I was so shocked and surprised.
