Ashlee and Stockton became neighbors when they were both 5 years old; they grew up just a street away from each other! When they were 12 years old they were able to go to youth activities together and became good friends. Ashlee had a huge crush on Stockton for as long as she can remember, but Stockton only thought of her as his buddy. At the age of 15, they were best friends! Ashlee decided to move on and began dating someone else and Stockton was so upset! They stayed friends but went back and forth between dating other people and always coming back together. It wasn't until their senior year of high school that they decided enough was enough. They began officially dating when they were 18 years old. Quickly following high school graduation, Stockton moved to Arizona to attend college at MMI and the couple did a long-distance relationship for about 14 months! After dating for over 4 years, Stockton popped the question on March 14, 2020, at Memory Grove Park. It started with a literal, young girl crush and ended with a proposal!
