Ashlynn and Ryan met through mutual friends during the beginning of freshman year at the University of Memphis. They went out a few times but spent some time apart. As Ashlynn was getting ready to start nursing school, she was hanging out with some good friends of Ryan and started asking questions about him. Well sure enough, Ryan was interested in going out again. When asked if he remembered who Ashlynn Butler was, Ryan said, “How could I ever forget her,” before the two eventually reconnected. They went back to the original date location at El Toro Loco and have been inseparable since. Ashlynn and Ryan now own a home in Germantown, where they live with their 2 dogs: Benny and Betsy. Yes, Ryan was lucky enough to inherit Ashlynn's dogs. They are delighted to officially unite their lives in marriage and begin this journey together.
