Ashley and Justin first met in 2019 at the JBK Scholarship Fundraiser. A global pandemic and 2 years later, the star-crossed lovers were to meet again at the same event. The two met up again a few days later. Little did Justin know, Ashley moved up her flight from Florida and nearly missed their first date at Raine’s Law Room. Little did Ashley know, Justin left work early to wait in line for an hour to secure them a reservation. The two began talking daily where Justin was able to showcase his terrible dad jokes and Ashley happily (edit: nervously) laughed them off. Their fate was sealed after a night at Drunk Shakespeare where Justin and Ashley shared their love of theater and all things New York. Countless trips, a love for Israel, a passion for farm-to-table food, and maybe a few too many concerts later, Justin proposed in April of 2024.
