Logan and Ashley first met back in 2008, their freshman year of college, at a mutual friend's party. They hit it off and exchanged numbers and chatted from time to time as well as saw each other at parties occasionally. Nothing really came from it besides some mutual flirtation and they actually lost contact before starting their second year of college. Fast forward to December of 2019; ten years later! Logan reached out to Ashley via Facebook and asked her on a date. Ashley was in her self-discovery era and left him on "read" with no reply. To most, that "ghosting" would have, sadly, been how it all ended and deterred them from trying again - but not Logan. One thing to know about him is Logan doesn't like to lose but he is also patient. So, on February 11, 2022 he saw that Ashley was online and messaged her on Facebook again asking her to a Hawks game. This time, Ashley had done all the self-discovery she needed and responded! Logan wasted no time and planned their first date for the following day, just shy of Valentine’s Day, in downtown Marietta. That first date lasted almost five hours and essentially sealed their fate. It was after the third date that Ashley turned to her sister, Molly, and told her she knew Logan was the one. Ashley later found out from Logan that for him, it was after their fifth date.

Downtown Marietta is a special place for Ashley and Logan, not just because it was where they had their first date, but because a lot of the early part of their relationship centered around Marietta Square. So, it was only fitting that Logan propose to Ashley on the Square. Logan took Ashley to the bench he was sitting at while waiting for her to arrive for their first date. It was at this bench that he got down on one knee and proposed, to which Ashley gave an emphatic YES! Molly then popped out of her hiding place where she was secretly taking photos and surprised Ashley. They followed up the momentous event with a walk to Glover Park Brewery (one of the spots they went to on their first date) where, much to Ashley's surprise, Logan had organized to have their family and friends waiting to surprise Ashley and celebrate together! It was the perfect proposal!
