Its Happening!

Ashley and Patrick first met in grade school. While in high school, Patrick had a crush on Ashley and they shared many classes together. Ashley at that time was playing "hard to get" when Patrick would ask her out on a weekly basis. Fast forward eight years, Ashley and Patrick were both single. Patrick was in the Detroit Police Academy, and one night he decided to message Ashley on social media. Ashley insisted on FaceTiming Patrick because they had not been in contact for a long time. Patrick was nervous to talk to her because he had to shave his head everyday in the academy. Patrick finally showed her the Mr. Clean look, and the conversation took off from there. Patrick asked Ashley if she liked hockey and her eyes lit up, Patrick asked if she would like to come to his hockey game the next night. Ashley said yes with excitement and the next day they met at Bar Louie in Partridge Creek for dinner. Patrick told Ashley to go home and get ready and that he will pick her up for his game. Patrick was excited to show off at his game and scored 4 goals and won the game. Fast forward two weeks and Ashley met Patrick's son Riley. Riley was two and a half at the time and the love between Ashley and Riley took off. Riley has grown to call Ashley his mom and is very happy that Ashley and Patrick are getting married.

Patrick told Ashley that he was going to look at guns with his groomsman Caleb. Patrick came back with excitement, and Ashley had no idea what was going on. Patrick could not sleep for the next two weeks. Caleb went and picked up the ring a week later before going into work, Patrick showed everyone at his work the ring, of course before Ashley knew anything about it. Patrick contacted Ashleys best friend/ maid of honor Jamiee, to tell her the news. On October 2nd Patrick took Ashley to Blakes cider mill with a group of great friends. Ashley asked Jamiee what was going on and she had to walk away because she didn't want to spoil the news. Patrick was running out of options and time, due to how busy it was that day. Patrick ended up picking out a great spot. Patrick and Ashley started taking pictures with the group of friends that came. Ashley ended up having a glass of wine in her hand and Patricks best man Mike took her wine from her. Patrick got down on one knee and popped the question. Ashley immediately starts to cry, and nods. Ashley couldn't get any words out at the time. Ashley then called her parents with the excitement! After that it was full wedding mode for Ashely and Patrick. Ashley and Patrick cannot wait till the day they say "I do" in front of our family and friends.
