We met in Irvine, California as we were both pursuing our Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Chapman University. We had our first conversation a few days into starting school. Ashley was wearing an Estes Park, Colorado shirt and Darren immediately asked, "where did you get that?! Estes is my last name!" We started out as friends and became study buddies. We officially started dating on 09.01.17!
We had the perfect COVID-19 quarantine proposal. We made homemade chicken parmesan together and afterwards he got down on one knee and popped the question! I screamed and shouted "YES!" We are so excited to celebrate with you! See you there!
