Our Story
While the exact moment of our first meeting remains a delightful mystery, fate ensured our paths would cross during our final year at The University of North Carolina-Charlotte (Go Niners!). Amid the bustling campus life, we found ourselves exchanging numbers at an event. Warren wasted no time and soon began charming Ashley with flirty messages, igniting a spark that neither of us could ignore. After a few playful exchanges, we decided to meet up, and from our very first date, it was clear this was no ordinary connection. It was a special kind of love – rare, patient, and unlike anything we had ever experienced before. In 2015, we proudly graduated together from UNCC. Ashley moved back to her hometown of Durham, NC to focus on her studies and aspirations to become a physician, and Warren from Chesapeake, VA resided in Charlotte to start his professional career. Despite the distance, our love proved unbreakable. Two years later, we took the plunge and moved in together cementing a bond that has only grown stronger with time. From that point on, Warren and Ashley have been inseparable, living proof that true love knows no bounds.
