We met at a bar in Beaver Dam Ashley's friend worked at a bar and Ashley had just got home from visiting her, when her friend called her and told her she had to come back for a few drinks because Nic Neitzel was there. Ashley had no clue who Nic was or why it was such a big deal that he was there, but, intrigued, she went back anyways. Ashley and her friend talked to Nic and his friend Chris, joking and goofing around. Nic and Ashley hit it off right away and exchanged numbers. The next few days they talked nonstop and immediately had a great connection. Nic was impressed with how easy going Ashley was, her hilarious sense of humor, her good looks helped too. Ashley thought Nic was quite the jokester and was impressed with his quick wit. Neither of them were looking for a relationship at the time, but after about a month they decided to start dating, and see where the world took them and haven't looked back since. Ashley has loved learning all about farm life and Nic knows more medical knowledge than he would like. They do well balancing each other out, and nothing brings them more joy than raising the girls on the farm and watching traits of each other in Kennedy and Mckenzie. (like swear words from Ashley and crazy ideas from Nic.)
