Austin and Ashley first met back in 2010 when he was visiting friends at UC. They continued to cross paths after college while both living in Cincinnati. It wasn't until they ran into each other at the bar, The Blind Pig in 2017 that they realized there may be more to their friendship. Austin took his shot and convinced her to go on a date. This would not be the last time she said "Yes"...
What Ashley thought was a trip to Puerto Rico for Austin's 30th birthday turned out to be the best engagement surprise. Austin proposed while they were watching the sun set over the ocean at San Felipe del Morro Castle in Old San Juan. Best trip ever!
