How we met

Chad and Ashley first met in 7th grade at Pleasant Valley Junior High. This is when Ashley first coined the nickname "Chadley" and the rest is history!

Pints, How Romantic?!

Hang on. Chad and Ashley remained friends all throughout junior high and into high school. Most days it consisted of Ashley sneaking to the parking lot door to let Chad back in from lunch. He was always naughty in school. So, they went their separate ways after school and eventually found each other again in May of 2019. Chad had been asking Ashley to "meet for beers" for a few weeks but it never worked until one fateful night. Not thinking this was a date of any sorts, Ashley invited her bestie, Taylor. Chad had other plans. The conversation was easy, and they had so much fun that evening. They've been practically inseparable since.

Fireworks

Literally and figuratively. Chad took Ashley to Red, White and Boom and during the fireworks asked Ashley to officially be his girlfriend.

Up North

Chad and Ashley were on a snowmobiling trip in Black River Falls, Wisconsin when he popped the question. It was so simple and sweet and Ashley was elated to say yes while doing something they love together.
