We both felt that knowing on the first date. We orbited each other for years, throughout college, our professional lives, but it was just a smile and a hello for the longest time. Dave knew before Ashley did and tried in earnest for months to take her on a date. Some sporadic messages in the DMs here and there, talking about their cats, Dave was looking for an in. One night Ashley messaged Dave, "Can I call you?" He was at work but wasn't going to miss this call. She said "I've avoided dating you for a long time." The stars aligned. Better together, we dreamed of our future. And it brought us to San Diego, where the Pacific meets the sky. Our next big adventure is a walk down the aisle with you there to celebrate. This photo is from our second date that same week.

Travel Note
Southwest usually has an early morning, and late afternoon direct flight from BWI to SAN. Once you land in San Diego, the airport is 10 - 20 minutes from anywhere you would need to go! Uber/Lyft or care rental are the easiest and most effective. Other airlines with direct flights: • Delta • American Airlines
For suggested neighborhoods/locations, click the link below for a list of AirBnbs. All are centrally located to the weekend's festivities, and are walkable, bike-able. Coastal options near restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and grocery stores.
The place we got engaged *and* the best views in San Diego.
We'll add food, bars, and can't miss views.

Yay you're coming to our wedding! Your invitation indicates whether or not you have a plus one. We cannot accommodate additional guests. Make friends and have fun with the loved ones we've gathered.
While we love the children in our life, our wedding is an adults-only event. With the exception of our nieces and nephews. Should you elect to travel with your kiddos, we'll be happy to help identify childcare.

Please let us know at your earliest convenience any allergies, the evening's food service won't be a seated dinner. Otherwise, everything will be both meat and vegetarian options.
There is ample street parking at both of the Museum entrances S Coast BLVD, Prospect ST and the surrounding area. It is however going to be a party, we lovingly encourage the use of ride share for Saturday evening.
There will be a welcome event Friday, and a beach day Sunday. We hope your travel plans allow you to join us for all of it.
You will be missed! But we get it, it's not a small, easy, or cheap trip. Please let us know as soon as possible. We understand why it may not work for everyone. It means the world to us that you would consider it.
