We’re getting married!

Long story short, they both met through a mutual friend. Ivan and Ashley went to the same high school and started to share a group of friends. During the summer before their junior year, they had found out that they would be vacationing in Puerto Rico at the same time. A mutual friend Miguel decided to force them to talk to each other during that time, because he did not want to be bothered. A friendship blossomed and they found that they share similar intrests and traits. Fast forward to November 20, 2013, they started dating. Only took Ivan long enough to ask!

Ivan purchased tickets for a Disney Ferrytale Dessert Cruise for the two. He kept his cool, but Ashley had a feeling something was up. They walked around, eating all the sweets and sipping on wine. Eventually they made their way back down to the lower deck for more privacy and for a better view of the fireworks. Just after the fireworks show started, two castmembers came by to take their photo. Ivan passed them his phone, while telling them his plan. To give Ivan the signal, the castmembers repeated saying “waiting for the fireworks to start, any second now”. He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. While surprised, she did laugh. Don’t worry there were tears afterwards!
