Is our love story unique? No, not really. We met on an online dating app where the conversation started with "So you're a business major and you enjoy working out?" and our first official date was an Akron Arrows Baseball game followed by Nik meeting all of Ashley's friends at a last minute Memorial Day picnic. So no we wouldn't say our story is out of the ordinary but it sure is a beautiful journey. And while it started off as a very ironic relationship in which the amount of things we had in common were too good to be true from our hobbies to the states we wanted to live in one day. Among many other things we had in common like: music, similar lifestyles, favorite foods, dream vacation destinations, our love of animals, and having the same sense of humor. Some would say we were cut from the same cloth and in a way we're inviting all of you; Our close friends and loved ones to witness and celebrate with us as we become whole again! After 7 years together, we are so very excited to unite in marriage and we couldn't imagine doing it without all of you by our side. We hope to see you there!
