Hark! A tale of love most wondrous, spun from the very fabric of destiny! On the thirteenth of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty, Nathaniel, a young squire of nineteen summers, did dispatch a missive of intrigue to Ashlyn, a maiden fair, upon the mystical platform known as Instagram. Her heart, it did skip a beat upon receiving this salutation, a mere "Hey :)", and a spark was ignited! Weeks did transpire, filled with clandestine exchanges upon this digital parchment. Then, one fateful day, Ashlyn, venturing forth to the land of Whataburger, did offer Nathaniel sustenance in the form of fries and a beverage. However, a playful challenge was laid down: a full meal would only be his if he proved "worth it"! With her trusty companion, Trinity Woodard, Ashlyn delivered the meager feast, intending a hasty retreat. But fate, a mischievous imp, intervened! Hours melted away as they conversed with Nathaniel, their connection deepening with each passing moment. Henceforth, an inseparable bond did form. Daily, or nearly so, they met, forging a path through Whataburger's hallowed halls on numerous occasions. As their souls intertwined, a question most profound was posed by Nathaniel: would Ashlyn become his lady fair? With a joyous cry, she did accept! A year did pass, a time of trials brought upon the land by a monstrous plague. Though their physical proximity was limited, their love remained undimmed. Ashlyn embarked upon a quest for knowledge at the esteemed Sam Houston State University. Nathaniel, with a heart as bold as a lion, saw this not as a barrier, but an opportunity to forge his own path in the halls of academia. For three glorious years, they thrived at SHSU, their studies flourishing. Through thick and thin, they were a beacon of support for one another, conquering challenges with unwavering spirit. Leaving their familiar haven fostered remarkable growth, their bond strengthening as they built a life anew. Countless evenings were spent feasting at Chili's, their laughter echoing through the halls, and countless hours were devoted to studious pursuits within the university's hallowed library. On the twenty-sixth of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-four, Nathaniel, his heart overflowing with love eternal, did bend one knee in supplication. Ashlyn, with tears of joy in her eyes, did declare her undying devotion. The following weekend was spent in joyous revelry with their closest companions, celebrating this momentous occasion in the fair city of San Antonio. May of this year did witness their graduation from SHSU, their hearts brimming with anticipation for the future. College Station awaits, a new chapter to be penned. Nathaniel, a scholar embarking on his doctoral quest in the mysteries of the mind, and Ashlyn, his loving wife, shall face the world together, their furry companions by their side. This, dear friends, is but the prologue to a love story for the ages! We eagerly await the chapters yet to be written, and extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us on this extraordinary journey!
