Two single people on all the dating apps! Rory is very persistent as we all know, so he sent Ashley a message on not one but TWO sites. Luckily, Ashley was tired of bread making/scarf weaving/plant killing or whatever other hobby she’d taken up over the pandemic and decided to message him back. But only on OkCupid because Tinder would give the wrong message! Over many virtual dates, the two bonded over their love of Marvel movies and vaccines. On Valentine’s Day 2021, they made separate appointments to get the jab! While they were crossing fingers for superpowers, they happily accepted getting to meet in person as a consolation prize. On that first in-person date, they walked around The High Line (where Ashley repeatedly tripped), couldn’t figure out how to use a QR code, and accidentally ordered two of the same pies of pizza. A match made in heaven. A few months later, Rory got a preview to his eventual proposal and an example of the indecisiveness he was committing himself to. He asked Ashley to make it official and she immediately said yes…only to call back a couple of hours later to say maybe it was too soon…only to then reverse the reversal two weeks later. The two, who were once called an “odd couple” by a stranger on the street, have been happily together ever since!
