Nathan and Ashley met each other when they were 16 and 14 respectively. Nathan had made fast friends with some of Ashley's friends in high school, and Ashley soon learned of his love for Cheez-its and making people laugh. At the time, Nathan and Ashley were either dating or seriously into other people, but maintained a friendship over the years. Fast forward to September of 2010. Nathan had just moved back to California after spending a year in Kansas. After some friendly catching up, Nathan asked for Ashley's phone number and just a few weeks later he asked her out officially on 10/04/2010. Now, after 8 years of dating, Nathan asked Ashley to marry him.
