Ashley and Chris have known each other since elementary school, first meeting in 5th grade at Sacred Heart School. Their paths continued to cross throughout middle school, where they shared many of the same friends. After graduating from Sacred Heart, Ashley attended Mount de Sales Academy, and Chris went on to Loyola Blakefield, an all-boys school. While their worlds seemed to be drifting apart, God had other plans.
 They continued to cross paths at school events and through mutual friends, but it wasn't until their sophomore year that Chris finally mustered up the courage to ask Ashley out. Their first date was at Sonny Lee's Chinese restaurant, and from that moment, Chris knew he had found someone truly special that he wanted to hold on to forever. It didn’t take long for Ashley to feel the same way.   Their love grew stronger as they navigated high school together, and after graduation, they both attended Saint Vincent College, where their bond continued to flourish through life's ups and downs.   On May 13th, 2023, after seven years of love and adventure, Chris took Ashley by surprise with a proposal on the beaches of Ocean City. From the very start, they both knew they wanted to build a life together, and now, they're overjoyed to finally make that a reality.   With hearts full of excitement and gratitude, Ashley and Chris are ecstatic to be celebrating this special moment with all of you, and they can’t wait to continue sharing their lives and taking on all the positives and negatives life has to offer as one.
