First came friendship | 2014 We met in college, at the University of Western Carolina in 2014. We met the first week of school and became fast friends. Then Came the Relationship | 2015 At the start of our sophomore year, we went on our first date at the WCU vs. University of Tennessee football game. Western got crushed (not a surprise) – but we had a grand ol' time. (finally) The Proposal | 2022 Ashley knew Dele wanted two things: - The first: A Private Proposal - The second:To be able to immediately celebrate with an intimate group of family and close friends afterward. He planned a beautiful tour at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden in April of 2022. It was very toasty out (thank you to our dear friend Tucker for braving the weather) and while it took a few rounds of circling the gardens (because pre-scouting the place to pop the question did not happen prior), Ashley finally popped the question. And now here we are, and cannot wait to celebrate with all of you!
