Ashley and Damien’s love story began the modern way—online dating—but quickly turned into something deeply intentional and joy-filled. Damien was drawn to Ashley’s love of nature, her radiant brown complexion, and the calm beauty she carried. Ashley was instantly captivated by Damien’s passion for travel and the outdoors, his handsome smile and full head of hair, and—most importantly—his ability to truly hold a conversation. After 24 hours of nonstop chatting, numbers were exchanged, FaceTime followed, and their first date was set: a peaceful nature walk paired with hibachi. With great laughs, easy conversation, and undeniable chemistry, the foundation was set. Rooted in shared faith and Christian values, Ashley and Damien found common ground in their love for peace, family, nature, and old school R&B—the kind of music that never goes out of style and always sets the mood. So, it was only fitting that Damien’s proposal felt straight out of a love song. One quiet night, he woke Ashley and led her upstairs with her eyes closed as Stevie Wonder’s “Overjoyed” played. As she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by candles, balloons, and photos from their many adventures together. In that moment, Damien asked Ashley to be his forever—and she said yes. On May 28, 2026, Ashley and Damien will say “I do” at the beach, surrounded by God’s creation, family, friends, and lots of love. Their journey has been guided by faith, laughter, and intention—and the best is yet to come.
