Ashley and Ben were set up by their mutual friend, Robbie Schnatmeier, to attend Ben’s fraternity “Trivia Date Night” at Georgia Tech on September 17, 2021. They ended the night as the last ones left on the dance floor at 3:00 a.m., with time flying by because they were simply having so much fun together. In the months that followed, they built a strong foundation as great friends, which slowly grew into something more when Ben asked Ashley on their first date in November 2021. Ashley and Ben officially became a couple on February 22, 2022. Nearly four years later, they got engaged on September 12, 2025, and can’t wait to continue having fun together as they enter the season of marriage.
