Ashlin was born and raised in Vernal, Utah, a small town where dinosaur statues outnumber stoplights and everyone knows everyone. Her life was rooted in faith, family, and fitness, plus the constant supervision of her fearless corgi, Boots, who has never met a stranger and has never said no to a treat. When she felt ready for a change, the winds of West Texas carried her away to Lubbock where she spent her time cheering on Texas Tech and going to Turtle Races at Little Woodrow’s. Kenny grew up in Buffalo, New York, where winter lasts 11 months a year and the remaining month is just “pre-winter.” He learned early that his life would revolve around cheering on the Bills and surviving jumping through tables in freezing temperatures. His personality was basically forged by lake-effect snow and Tim Hortons Double Double Mocha. A quick detour took him across the pond to England and then back again where he ended up as far away from cold winters as he could get: Florida. And then they both said: “Let’s move to North Carolina for absolutely no logical reason.” On separate occasions, both guided by curiosity, prayer, and questionable packing strategies, Ashlin and Kenny moved across the country on a whim. No 5-year plans, just Jesus taking the wheel. North Carolina had beaches, mountains, and Bojangles, so it felt like a reasonable plot twist at the time. Little did they know they were moving toward each other. Hinge brought them together, but the first date exceeded expectations. Their first date felt less like an introduction and more like recognition. It didn’t take long for gym sessions to turn into gym dates, for church together every Sunday, for inside jokes fill every conversation and for corgi fur to permanently occupy Kenny’s wardrobe. Somewhere along the way, the whim turned into God’s plan. And now, Ashlin & Kenny are choosing forever. With God leading the way and Boots supervising the route. Welcome to our happily ever after.
