Becoming the Bayleys

In 2015, we had our first date. We spent hours at a local diner, chatting about our interests, our families, and getting to know each other. We both knew we wanted to see each other again, so later that week we had our second date at the Red Wings game. On October 26th, 2015, we started dating and have been together ever since. From game days, to concerts, and spending time with friends and family, from graduating college and adopting our cats, Frank and Mac, to buying our first home, we've done it all together over the last 8 years! Fast forward to New Years Eve 2022, and Bruce proposed at Campus Martius in Downtown Detroit. We were taking a photo together in front of the big Christmas tree, and unbeknownst to Ashley, Bruce was getting down on one knee. She said yes, and we rang in the New Year as an engaged couple! Best. Day. Ever. Now, we're celebrating 9 years together (to the day) as we become Mr. and Mrs. with our closest family and friends. We look forward to seeing you in Grand Rapids when we tie the knot!

For all the days along the way
