We're FINALLY Getting Married!

We met our freshmen year of high school in English class. Ricardo thought he was one of the "cool kids" so we hardly ever spoke. We had all of the same mutual friends, which meant we would always hang out but never really got to know each other. It wasn't until one beautiful Summer day when we both got hired AT THE SAME time as servers at Carino's Italian Restaurant. We both continued to date other people, but got to know each more as we would work a lot of the same shifts. It was during one of our friend's birthday dinners when Ricardo FINALLY decided to ask me on a date. (Ashley did her waiting. 9 years of waiting for Ricardo to finally notice her!) Ricardo took Ashley to a dinner and a movie, and the rest is history.

Ricardo gathered all of Ashley's family and closest friends for her 30th birthday party. After everyone finished singing "Happy Birthday", Ricardo got down on one knee and pulled out a box he had made for this special day. A box that made Ashley burst into tears once she saw it, because she knew what was inside. Ricardo asked Ashley to finally marry him and put a HUGE ROCK on her finger. Ashley said "sure, ok". 😂
