Sylvia and Ashton met at a summer camp in high school at their church. They began talking occasionally, but their connection deepened when they reunited the following summer in 2018. Excited to sit next to each other on the bus, they realized their friendship was turning into something more. As they shared secrets and laughs, their innocent crush blossomed. They bonded over their favorite childhood pastimes: road trips, pizza, anime, and thrifting. A year later, they took the leap and began dating, solidifying their bond as best friends and partners. After college, the couple relocated to Middle Georgia to start their future together after a recent engagement.
