John and Ashley have been best friends for the past 9 years with a hidden love for each other. They had grown up about 15 mins from each other on Long Island, NY. They attended St Anthony's High School, starting off as friends during their senior year. A few months later prom came around and John decided to ask Ashley with no other than a baseball, shocker there and of course being the "cleat chaser" that she was she said YES. Little did she know 9 years later she would be saying YES to marrying the man of her dreams. 3 years later John transferred to Marist College for his senior year of college bringing the two even closer together. Through out these past years they were best friends, through thick and thin. Everyone knew though that there was always something more. John says to this day that their group trip down to Nashville 2 years ago was his turning point from friendship to relationship. Nashville since has held a special place in their hearts. In October of 2020 during the mix of the crazy world, the two decided to pack up and take a big step together, moving to the city that solidified their love for each other. Since then they've bought their first house together, have gotten engaged and are now planning their dream wedding in Nashville. They are counting down the days till they get to celebrate this crazy little thing called love with all of you!
