They met 7 years ago in the operating room at Raleigh Orthopedic Clinic. Ashley started working at ROC in April 2014 and Tim moved to Raleigh shortly after for a job selling medical equipment. Tim’s company worked closely with Ashley’s orthopedic practice and they became friends through work.

Tim popped the question to Ashley in front of the large chapel in Mercersburg, PA. It sits directly across the lawn from his childhood house and is visible from the front patio. That morning they woke up and decided to go for a jog around campus. They went around the beautiful campus of Mercerburg Academy as well as some of the surrounding area. They had a quick breakfast and then helped Tim’s parents move out of their house as they prepared their move from Mercersburg to Chautauqua NY. After a long day of moving, the reality of leaving Mercersburg forever set in. Rain had come for the majority of the afternoon but the sun came out to show off the beautiful campus one last time. Tim suggested taking a few pictures before dinner. They went to the chapel for a picture and he got down on one knee to ask Ashley to marry him. She said YES! It was a very simple and intimate moment that they will cherish forever.
