Please Read Before Attendance

Your safety is important to us, and while we are doing all we can on our end to provide a safe as well as a celebratory environment, we ask that all guests please bring a mask to wear during the Ceremony and Reception. We would like to inform you that we plan on taking temperatures at the door and will ask you to leave if your temperature exceeds the normal range so we can best protect you and our other guests. We also ask that if you have or have been around someone who has been sick that you join us for our live stream.

How we started dating

We started dancing together for a couple of months and got really close. There came a point where Ashley knew she loved Jordan and knew she would regret it if she didn't try to pursue a relationship with him. So she came up with a plan where as we were driving home from dancing she would ask him at a specific spot in the road so she wouldn't be able to chicken out. Once she asked, Jordan sat quietly for a long time and then answered by saying that he didn't know and needed time to think. He explained later that he thought for a while about if he truly wanted to pursue a relationship with Ashley and carefully consider whether he could see himself spending the rest of my life with her. After two weeks, Ashley finally asked whether he had come up with an answer for her question. We decided that we didn't want to start dating until after we had finished the relationship series we were going through with our college group. Once that was over we could then go on a trial date to see if it might work out. After the series, we went out to Sapporo's in Monterrey. We ended the date and realized that we did in fact like each other on a deeper level than just friends and we started officially dating then on October 10th of 2017.

How we got engaged

On October 26th of 2019, I planned to propose to Ashley. I drove up from school and got home the day before. On the day, I went to the store early and got everything ready for a picnic. I then went and showed the photographer the location and what the place could look like. We then waited for Ashley. Earlier that day Ashley was taking family photos and afterwards she was supposed to go out to lunch with both our moms. What she didn't know was that our moms were going to bring her to the park where I had everything set up. When she arrived I was waiting there with a bouquet of roses. I took her hand and we walked down into the park to where the picnic was set up. We talked as we walked down and when we got there I told her how much I loved her and got down on one knee and then proposed.
