Originally from Lancaster County, PA, Ashley moved to Nashville with a college roommate, one year after graduating college to experience life in a new city! After college, Andrew was traveling with the army and after a few years outside Seattle, eventually came to Fort Campbell, outside of Nashville. In January of 2019 Ashley had been living in Nashville for about 2 years when Andrew liked her on Hinge and didn't stop messaging her. They went on a few dates and the rest was history!
After dating and living in Nashville for about 2.5 years, Andrew made the decision to get out of the army, and we wanted to live somewhere close to our families, so we picked up and moved to Philadelphia. While exploring our new home and surroundings, we came across a quaint town square: Headhouse Square. The Shambles at Headhouse Square is lit up year round and has a few restaurants and bars around it. On November 6, 2021, Andrew told Ashley they were going to walk to their lunch reservations, but insisted on taking a detour walk through Headhouse Square. Not thinking anything of it, Ashley agreed and Andrew proposed with his family watching from their hiding places, sneaking pictures. Following the proposal, Andrew surprised Ashley with lunch and celebrations with her family as well!
