We're getting Married!

The Story We Told Our Parents: It was a hot summer day in June of 2022. Austin and Ashley met at a local ice-cream shop in the neighborhood they both lived in. Austin was with his dog, Muffin - and Ashley, with her roommate. Ashley complimented Austin on how cute Muffin was - which led to them exchanging phone numbers ..and the rest is history! The Real Story: At 10:00pm on a Tuesday night, Ashley and Austin found each other on Tinder, their profiles configured to a mere 1-mile radius. Their conversation started with a match and quickly moved off the app. After a lively exchange, Austin dialed Ashley's number, sparking a three-hour conversation filled with laughter and comparisons of zodiac signs. By the end of it, they had set up their first date. That Friday, just days later, Austin and Ashley rendezvoused at a local bar. The evening unfolded with endless laughter, a spree of bar-hopping, and more tequila shots than they could count. As the clock struck 1:00am, they stumbled upon the town's most dubious dive-bar, where Austin extended an invitation for Ashley to meet "Muffin" at his place. With a mix of caution and curiosity, Ashley accepted, and soon found herself asleep in this stranger's basement. (Sorry mom & dad!)
