Although we’d been in the same schools since 4th grade we didn’t become friends and start talking until our 7th grade year. We kept in touch mostly through AIM over the summer and picked up right where we left off in 8th grade. We became best friends and everyone but us knew that we wanted to date each other. When we both came to realize we wanted to date, Ashley was hesitant and didn’t want to risk losing our friendship. One night while talking on the phone Ashley told Nick her fear to which Nick asked “Why would we lose our friendship?” Ashley replied, “When we break up...” Nick then asked “Why would we breakup?” Ashley, caught slightly off guard said, “Well we would either breakup or get married” to which Nick stated “Then I guess we’ll get married.” Since then, we’ve spent our lives together, graduating high school and college and starting our careers. And when Nick (finally) asked Ashley to spend the rest of her life with him, on their 10th anniversary, Ashley was thrilled and said yes! We’ve been waiting for this day since we were 13 years old! And we are both so excited to finally fulfill that promise to each other from 13 years ago. We want to thank everyone for being a part of our special day, we love all of you so much!
