Kevin and Ashley met in the fall of 2011 at Purdue. They first met at a pledge party in the most romantic way possible - as beer pong partners. They didn’t exchange phone numbers right away, but they then got connected through a mutual friend who told Ashley she should reach back out to Kevin, and she is so glad she took that advice! They dated through undergrad, Kevin’s MBA and Ashley’s veterinary school, including a few years of long distance when Kevin moved to Charlotte for work, and Ashley stayed in Indiana to finish school and her first internship. They finally got to live in the same city again when Kevin was able to move to south Florida with Ashley for her specialty internship. While in Florida, Kevin made a plan to propose to Ashley; he concocted a plan to surprise her by telling her that he got tickets to a garden in Miami through his work. Behind the scenes, he had arranged a photographer and gotten all the employees in on his plan, even going so far as to make sure the front desk knew that when he said he was picking up tickets through his company, that was all part of his decoy plan. He took Ashley to a waterfall in the gardens where he (finally!!) proposed, and she was so thrilled to say yes. They spent the afternoon taking engagement photos in the garden and celebrated with a beautiful dinner overlooking the Miami skyline. After finishing their time in Florida, they moved to Columbus for Ashley’s residency, and finally started planning for the long-awaited wedding. They are so thrilled to be able to celebrate their love with family and friends, and cannot wait to see you all at the wedding! ❤️
