Some love stories begin with fireworks, but DeAndre’ and Ashley’s started with a simple hello. A few polite questions at work, a warm smile—just two people crossing paths in the middle of a regular day. And then, life moved them in different directions. But fate had its own plans. Years later, in the most unexpected way, they found each other again. Only this time, the conversation was different. They talked about dreams, faith, and life’s passions. They quickly realized how much they had in common—a love for family, big dreams, and even a deep appreciation for music. What started as friendship soon became undeniable. By February 2020, DeAndre’ couldn’t ignore it any longer. He asked Ashley if they could take this connection further, and with a smile in her heart, she said yes. A month later, the world stood still. But instead of drifting apart, they clung to each other. Through a pandemic, two hurricanes, and an ice storm, their love became something unshakable—proof that they could weather anything together. By December 2021, DeAndre’ knew—Ashley wasn’t just someone he loved. She was the one. With her father’s blessing and a ring chosen with love, he planned the perfect surprise: a Harlem Nights-inspired birthday party, filled with the people who meant the most. And there, in the middle of laughter and celebration, DeAndre’ dropped to one knee and asked Ashley to spend forever with him. With happy tears and a heart full of love, she said yes. Now, they’re ready for their next chapter. On June 14, 2025, DeAndre’ and Ashley will stand hand in hand, promising to love, cherish, and walk through life together. Their journey has been full of twists, turns, and unexpected moments, but through it all, love has been their greatest adventure. With God at the center of their union, they know that every step forward will be guided by faith, grace, and unwavering love. And now, they can’t wait to celebrate this beautiful new beginning—with you.
