Ashton & Zach grew up in the same town. They always talk about how they have a picture of Ashtons brother playing soccer with Zach as kids for YMCA. They find it funny because Zach always remembered Ashtons dads yellow car & her always practicing cheer on the sidelines. Although they didn't know each other at this time, their life's still crossed paths. Ashton & Zach met through close friends the summer of 2019 and were inseparable ever since. They went to parties together and had many dates that summer. When summer came to an end, Ashton drove to Richmond every weekend during Zachs time at Eastern Kentucky. The two even quarantined together for the entirety of Covid in 2020. Ashton eventually moved to Richmond where she loved her time there. She had her own apartment but will shamelessly admit she lived at the boys house. Zach and Ashton continued to make memories with each other from sneaking Ashton into bars, late night walks home and adopting their puppy they named Ollie. Once Zach graduated, the two spent a year in Indianapolis where they enjoyed the city life together. The two are now back where they have always called home and reside in Frankfort, Kentucky. Zach and Ashton have since adopted another puppy they named BamBam and have bought a house together. There is much more but that's the short version of their love story. So cheers to 5 years & many more.
Zach told Ashton they were going to Ashtons favorite winery, Chenault Vineyards. They drove to Richmond Kentucky where they spent years of their life together. It was pouring rain so Zach was worried because the proposal was supposed to be outside in the vineyards. They got to the winery and the sun came out as they took a walk. Ashton had no idea at the time. They walked to a barn where Zach had the Chenault staff put together a beautiful scenery prior to arriving. Ashton explains this moment as the most thought out & timeless thing shes ever seen. She went into instant tears. Zach got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Yes was the obvious answer. They both were so excited, as this was a very sentimental moment for the two. They'd like to share some photos that you can find in our gallery.
