We met when I (Ashely) decided to go to a retreat with our campus ministry called Cru. He was my ride to the camp, and then my ride to every single event after that. We had hit it off and became close friends, who did ministry together and slowly built trust and affection and became more. We realized we had family history and connections way back but never had the opportunity to meet before. He asked me to go on a date, and we have been inseparable every sense. God knew that we would fall in love and get married and we thank him for every moment we have had, and will have.
