Mike moved home from Nashville in the Summer of 2012 to work at his parent's pizza restaurant in Cumming, GA (Mellow Mushroom- drrrrooooool). Ashley had been serving up pizzas at the restaurant for a year by then, trying to make some extra cash while working her way through college. We met during one of Mike's first shifts, and instantly became fast pals. Our friendship formed over a mutual love for the Grateful Dead, New Orleans, craft brews, and sharing the laughs and pains that come with working in the food service industry. Although we were both dating other folks at this time, we stayed buds through different phases of life. We started spending more time together around the Fall of 2015, when the stars aligned and we realized that we had always been more than "just friends". By 12.4.2015 we were stuck at the hip, and entered the next chapter of our story together. From catching Widespread Panic NYE runs, sailing through multiple Jam Cruise adventures, celebrating our first Mardi Gras in NOLA, to the thousands of regular/happy/hard/lazy/fun days in between that have brought us to where we are today...we have been on quite the ride since we started doing life together. We are incredibly excited to enter into this new chapter of "Mike & Ashley" on 4.2.2022 with our closest family and friends by our side!
