We both attended Penn Hills High School and met through mutual friends. We enjoyed attending football games, spending time with friends and family, and studying for AP Biology together. Ashley especially enjoyed going to all of Michelle's softball games and tournaments to cheer her on! We were both lucky enough to fall in love with our best friend.

We both attended Duquesne University where Ashley studied for her Masters of Occupational Therapy and Michelle for her Doctorate of Pharmacy. Some of our favorite memories together include studying in Gumberg Library, playing intramural soccer, and exploring the city together. We are so thankful for the countless memories with our best friends, some of which include happy hours at Steel Cactus, dancing at Jimmy D's, rushing East Carson after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, endless Papa Smurf drinks followed by giant pizza slices at Benny's, and building friendships that will last a lifetime!

We moved into our first apartment together near Duquesne in 2015 Adopted our perfect pup Bentley in 2016 Graduated college in 2018 Purchased our first home in Verona in 2020 Got engaged on New Year's Eve 2020

Camping has always been one of our favorite things to do together. Prince Gallitzin was our first camping trip together and is somewhere we camp at yearly with Michelle's family, so there was no better place to plan our proposals. We both designed the perfect engagement ring for each other and planned our own secret, meaningful proposals. Michelle created a playlist of our favorite love songs for Ashley to listen to on the drive to Prince Gallitzin and set up a beautiful proposal right along the lake. Ashley wrote thoughtful letters for Michelle to read on her drive to Prince Gallitzin and set up a proposal along one of our favorite hiking trails.
