We’re Getting Married!

Their story began in the early morning hours of March 31, 2018 when Ashtyn took the plunge and messaged Matthew on a dating app. They chatted for a couple of weeks before they planned to have their first brunch date on April 15, 2018. Unfortunately, Ashtyn bailed but luckily for her, Matthew was willing to give her another chance and reschedule. And thank goodness he did! They officially had their first date on April 18, 2018 at the Brass Tap in National Harbor. They chatted, had some drinks, ate terrible pretzel bites and played some trivia. This was for sure a first date to remember! Ashtyn was living in Maryland at the time and Matthew in Alexandra, VA but that didn’t stand in their way of falling for one another rather quickly! It wasn’t long before they were going on weekly dates, spending the weekends together, going to concerts and traveling. Matthew and Ashtyn first moved in together in late August of 2018 but shortly thereafter, they purchased their first home together in Richmond, VA on December 27, 2018. Matthew popped the question on January 5, 2019 while playing a game on the floor of their empty unfurnished home. After a lot of “WHAT!?” “NO WAY!” “ARE YOU SERIOUS” Ashtyn said YES! Ashtyn and Matthew will say “I Do” on April 18, 2020, the anniversary of their first date!
