It all began in 2019, when Cadet Son noticed Cadet Nguyen commanding her flight during an ROTC drill. In that moment, he knew she was someone special. Although they spent the entire semester in the same class, they never really interacted with each other. That changed during finals week, when Tyler sent a simple text: “Are you down to grab lunch?” Ashley replied the next morning, “Okay! Are our other classmates coming?” – “Yeah!” he said. What started as a casual group hangout turned into lunch, rock climbing, and hours of laughter. By the end of the day, they exchanged numbers, and Tyler soon asked Ashley out on their very first date. They went to Ponce City Market, walked along the Beltline, shared ice cream, and talked for hours while overlooking the city. From that day on, their story truly began. Four years later, life took them across the world – Ashley moved to Germany while Tyler finished his final year of school. What followed were two years of long-distance love, filled with late-night calls and early-morning check-ins. Through busy schedules, challenges, and time zones, their relationship only grew stronger. They made the most of every moment together, traveling across Europe whenever they could. Then came an unforgettable trip. Tyler surprised Ashley with a getaway to Norway, what she thought was just another long weekend. On a rainy Saturday, they hiked to the top of a mountain. As they reached the summit, the skies cleared and a rainbow appeared – in that perfect moment, Tyler got down on one knee and asked Ashley to marry him. She said yes!!! And now, here they are – so excited to begin the next chapter of their lives together, surrounded by the people they love most.
