Mutual friends was always the simplest way to explain it. Not many people expect a Facebook friend request to turn into something greater. Eddie friend requested Ashley. Normally Ashley would ignore requests from unknown people, but this request was different. They shared about 10 mutual friends. "Have I met this guy before?' she asked herself. Curious to know the answer she sent him a private message: "Do I know you?" The rest is history...
It was the 4th performance of 'Dirt Is Where Flowers Grow' an off-broadway play written and directed by Ashley. She sat in the audience filled with many of her family members and friends. She would not suspect that this night would change her life. The performance ended and the audience applauded. As the cast took their bow, Ashley was called to the stage. She was confused but it took only a few moments for her to realize what was taking place. As Eddie began to speak and get down on one knee, a couple behind him began to sing Eddie and Ashley's favorite song 'All Of Me' by John Legend. "Will you be my wife?' Eddie asked. With tears of joy in her eyes Ashley replied "YES!"
