Mason and Ashtin's story began when they first saw each other 4 years ago at Church of the Hills (now Zeal Church) Easter Sunday Service. They didn't meet officially that day however, Mason knew there was something special about Ashtin. Two years later, they officially were introduced to each other through Mason's sister Marilynn at a pool party over the 4th of July weekend. That weekend, they began to build a long distance friendship that included many long facetime calls from Nashville and Michigan. Mason moved to Nashville in May the following year and the two started to spent an unusual amount of time together for being "just friends". Not long after, they started dating and in June a year later, he proposed.
