Our friends forced us to go out one night and Ashley told her wingwoman how cute the boy across the bar was. Too many drinks and some miscommunication later, his best friend bought her a drink. After a few awkward moments Ashley and Marcus were finally introduced to each other.

Marcus took Ashley on her first backpacking trip at Waldo Lake Wilderness. After hiking five miles to Eddeeleo Lake, Marcus suggested they rest at the waters edge. He was talking very romantic and expressed that he wanted to spend forever with Ashley. Not being used to his romantic side Ashley laughed "yeah, we'll see" Marcus got down on one knee and popped the Question! Ashley Said "DUH!"
