We met on Tinder. Ashley swiped right, then Dani swiped right. We matched and started talking the next day. Our conversations were immediately different than any we'd had before. We just clicked, we knew it was something special. Our first date was 10 days later, and ended up being 9 hours long. The only reason it ended was because we both had work the next day. 8 days later, on Dani's birthday, was our 2nd date which lasted until the next day. May 6, 2018, Dani asked Ashley if she was ready to do life with her, and of course Ashley said yes. That was only the beginning of our beautiful love story.
October 4, 2019 we went to Las Vegas for the RiSE Festival with Dani's mom (Casey), Ashley's brother (Myles), and Ashley's aunt (Ileana). It was an incredible, indescribable, unforgettable experience. That night, Casey, Dani, Ashley, and Myles drove to Hurricane, Utah. Early the next morning, we all went to Bryce Canyon. When we got there, we took in the breathtaking views and went on a short little hike. After the hike, we went to a clearing overlooking the canyon, and Myles handed Ashley a phone to watch a video that Dani had made for her. Ashley of course started crying while watching the video. It was just beautiful, sweet, and so thoughtful. When she finished, Dani told her that it was never a question of IF we were going to get married, but WHEN. Then she asked if we could get married yet and without hesitation Ashley said yes while still crying. It was so unexpected, well-planned, unforgettable, and amazing!
