Ashley and Carter matched on tinder just before thanksgiving in 2021. They met for drinks at Marlea's, Carter's local corner bar in Dennison and clicked instantly. They talked all night, playing music and pull tabs, and getting to know everything about each other. After a few more dates, they both knew pretty quickly that they were meant to find each other. In August of 2022, Carter took Ashley to his Grandfather's land off the straight river, where he got down on one knee and proposed.
