On July 12th 2011, Ashley was having a ladies night with her girlfriends, and Tee was hanging out with some of the guys, celebrating a birthday. They were just two strangers not knowing that their lives were about to change forever. Fortunate for them, they both were at the right place, at the right time. At a bar in Fullerton California, the two started with small conversation which lead to a first date, which lead to their first kiss and now their engagement.

Ashley always told Tee, that it would be hard to catch her by surprise. She claimed, "I'll know. So I don't know how you're going to pull it off". On November 5 2017, Tee had an elaborate plan to pull off the surprise of a lifetime. See the proposal video on youtube under "Paint Night Surprise Proposal"
