We first met while working together at Naf Naf Grill in Oakbrook. After working together for about 4 months, we were training some new employees and had corporate trainers at our location. One day, we both got extremely annoyed with them. The next day, I (Ashleigh) got stuck with them again and texted Mike about my annoyance. He texted me back saying that if I survived the night, he would buy me a drink. That drink then turned into dinner and drinks the following week after Mike wanted to turn it into an actual date or "business meeting" as he called it. The week after, we went on another date and made it official. Since he was technically my boss (no one actually saw it that way) we had to keep it a secret. We also started dating right before COVID hit so it made it even harder to go out. Eventually we both left Naf Naf and went to work at different places for about a year until we started working at the same company again (Wingstop). We now actually work directly together travelling around, training employees, and opening new locations. Mike actually proposed in Pittsburgh while we were on a work trip opening 2 stores. We've been together for 5.5 years now and we cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together and build a family with each other.
