As most of you know, Anthony and Ashley met on Facebook dating in September 2023. Anthony had just moved to Smithfield earlier that year from his hometown of Madison and Ashley had moved back home to Hampton after graduating from college. They met for the first time at Ashley's house (after only talking to each other for a couple of days) and from that day on, they were inseparable. Ashley was just beginning online graduate school at University of Tennessee and starting her first internship, while Anthony was just starting his Hitch career. About four months into their relationship, they learned that they were expecting a beautiful baby boy. This only made their relationship stronger. Unfortunately, heaven gained an Angel named Luca Samuel Hayes in June 2024 and forever changed the lives of this soon-to-be wed couple. Six months later, it was time for Anthony to pop the question at one of the most perfect locations to propose: Walt Disney World Property. Although Anthony was nervous to ask the question, everyone knew that Ashley would say yes to the man that loves her so.
