Colton and Ashley went to the same high school but never met until a Friendsgiving in 2018. Over the years, their friendship grew into something more - strengthened by unforgettable times and memories with endless laughter, friends, late nights on her dad’s golf cart, and river trips. In March 2021, Colton boldly told Ashley, “I love you, and I’m going to marry you.” She rolled her eyes, speaking they were “just friends” — but just weeks later, on April 18, 2021, he asked her to be his girlfriend. Since then, they’ve built a life together: pursuing careers, building their first home, adopting their puppy Banjo, and getting engaged on Easter 2024 surrounded by family and friends. This year, they’ll celebrate their five-year anniversary in the best way possible—becoming husband and wife.
