Our story is simple, we both logged into match.com not expecting much and found our forever. On our first date I took Ashley to the "The Wine Room". We talked, and talked, and talked. If you know us, that's totally abnormal. It was easy to see if this woman, (who was actually more beautiful than her profile), could get me talking, she would keep me happy for the rest of my life.
We went to Emerald Isle for our summer beach trip. We were with our group of friends and their kids. Earlier in the year, a group photo had been planned. This was the perfect opportunity to ask Ashley to be my wife. The day came and everything was normal. The boys of the group had to go to the beach early to test the light and find the right angle since we wanted our picture at golden hour. Little did Ashley know, there was much more to this evening. As Ashley crested the top of the beach entrance, she saw Alex's two boys holding a picture. The first picture said, "Ashley, you thought you were here for a fun beach picture but....." Ashley then had to continue walking towards Corey. Corey was holding another picture. This picture said "I think we will need to take a couple more just for us...". The final picture was being held by Zach. The final picture said, "I want to make sure...I have a picture of the beginning of our family." After the picture, Ashley made it to Ryan. Ryan got on a knee and proposed. It was a night we will never forget!.
