coming soon: The Drakes

Our love story began during our senior year of college, where fate decided to intervene. It was a typical busy day, and as I, Ashley was making my way through the Bate building on our college campus, I unexpectedly ran into Peyton. It was one of those moments that felt electric. We exchanged smiles and struck up a conversation that seemed to linger in the air. What started as a casual chat quickly turned into a connection that neither of us had anticipated. From that moment, we found ourselves drawn to each other. For our first date, we decided to keep it light and fun—a movie followed by ice cream. As we settled into our seats at the theater, laughter filled the air, breaking any lingering nerves. We shared popcorn and twizzlers (the best movie combo, if you know, you know.) Afterward, we strolled to a nearby ice cream shop, where we indulged in our favorite flavors and continued our lively conversation late into the night. The second date took us to a cozy restaurant with live music that created a magical atmosphere. The warm glow of candlelight surrounded us as we shared stories over delicious food. The sound of the band added an ambiance that matched the chemistry we were beginning to feel. If you know Ashley, music is the key to her heart. March 30, 2019 we made things official. After graduation a new chapter in our love story unfolded- Raleigh, NC. We have created so many wonderful memories in Raleigh and where we call home. Now, as we embark on this beautiful journey towards marriage, we are excited to celebrate our love story with all of you. Thank you for being part of our lives!
