In the fall of 2018, we were both starting our freshman year of college at COD. We were in the same math class and after a few weeks we started talking and becoming friendly with one another. Even with our flirtations gestures back and fourth, we never thought that we would be in each others lives forever.
On December 31st, 2022, we took a trip to Tampa, FL to see Tom Brady and The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The game was on New Years day and we arrived to the stadium as soon as the gates opened. It was a close game leading all the way up to halftime. After the Bucs scored another touchdown, we asked the people behind us to take our picture. Little did Ashley know, this was the last picture we would take as boyfriend and girlfriend, as Joshua got down on one knee and asked Ashley to marry him. The whole section cheered when Ashley said "Yes!". This was the best day ever!
