We first met in June 2024 and quickly discovered how easy it was to connect. By our second date, we found ourselves in a cooking class—an ambitious choice, considering Ashley was nervous since she can’t cook at all. Somehow, it worked, and it set the tone for a relationship full of laughter and growth. Living in different cities in Northern VA means we treasure our weekends together, turning them into little adventures. We quickly bonded over good food (even though Ashley is scared of trying new foods), and she soon learned to trust Drew's recommendations—growing her palate more than she ever expected (or wanted). From wineries with friends to scary corn mazes and group travels, we’ve built countless memories together so far. What began in early 2024 has grown into a love rooted in trust, fun, and shared adventures—and we’re so excited for what comes next.
