During the 2020 Pandemic in September, Richard asked Ashley at her place of work if she was dating anyone. He then asked for Ashley's number. So she agreed, even though she never dated patients, or within her place of work. They were both single, knew exactly what they wanted in a companion, and were both on the same page. So they started dating, traveling together, falling in love, and everything has been on the up and up since. Richard proposed to Ashley on July 19, 2023. Yall already know Ashley said Yes!!!
