Back in April 2021, Ashley’s sister Erin (Maid of Honor) approached Tyler with an idea: to introduce him to her sister. She’d gotten to know Tyler enough over the previous several months at tennis that she knew he and Ashley shared a lot of interests. Tyler reluctantly agreed after confirming Ashley wasn’t a cat lady (his limit was 2 cats, and Ashley had exactly 2). Now Erin had to get Ashley to agree, which took a little more work. Ashley finally agreed to a setup in June! And then radio silence….Tyler and Ashley both thought Erin had given up on the idea. Ashley casually mentioned a “a supposed setup”, and before she knew it, Erin had convinced her, with some effort, to go watch some finals matches in the Pritchett-Moore Tennis Tournament in which Tyler was playing. Tyler immediately caught sight of Ashley as she and Erin were walking into the tournament. He instantly felt pressure to destroy his opponent (it’s important to note his opponent was none other than good friend/coworker/doubles partner, and now Groomsman, Reid Ketchum). He won. And won Ashley’s heart in the process. After a group dinner that night, a couple of date nights, and a friend trip to the mountains in Georgia, the rest was history.
