Quiet and calm, Ashton and Bray fell in love like an overnight shinshin snow fall. They bonded over their fascination of winter exploration, and stumbled into an endless catalog of both compatible and complementary unity in their character. They have spent the last five years cultivating a relationship that challenges and rewards their communication and trust. The love they share has provided wildly magnificent memories and accomplishments, with an ever growing appreciation for each other’s authentic self. With a love carved out deeper than the walls of the Grand Canyon, Bray and Ashton are overjoyed to invite you to their celebration of love ever after.
