When You Know You Know
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.
