Ashley's side: We met where I work at DJ's. I never really noticed him then. (I wasn't exactly in the dating mood.) One night, I went out for margaritas. Mike and I ran into each other and I decided to join him at his table. We had so many similarities, it was unbelievable. At the end of the night, he decided to ask if I wanted to bring the girls along on his boat in the morning. I thought he had to be insane for that, but loved every second on the man he seemed to be. We both had similar pasts, and from that point on, the rest was history. We make a wonderful team and have both grown positively in life ever since. We are the best versions of ourselves, through thick and thin. Mike's take on it: The funny side of the story on how we met was that I was actually on blind date with some other friends that wasn't working out so great. As soon as I saw Ashley walking in the restaurant I knew I had an opportunity. I managed to coerce a disgruntled Ashley to sit with me and chat. Little did I know, our first extremely connecting conversation wouldn't be our last. In fact, it was the beginning of the rest of our lives. She brings with her two lovely young lady's. The three of them together have become the joy of my life.
