Engagement Day. Grand Marais, Michigan | July 30, 2023
Our story started with a simple connection and blossomed into many years of love and adventures. Introduced by Ashley's sister, Krista, in 2015, both of us were happily single at the time. However, curiosity sparked a conversation on Facebook that quickly evolved into the exchange of phone numbers. Despite the geographical distance—Ashley in Philly and Wilson in Colorado—our connection grew stronger with daily conversations, leading to meeting face-to-face for the first time in December 2015 after nearly a year of talking. By January 6, 2016, we officially became "boyfriend and girlfriend." Wilson visited Ashley in Brooklyn, New York, that February, and by March, Ashley was packing her bags to join Wilson at his home in Colorado. After 7.5 wonderful years together, Wilson surprised Ashley by proposing at Lake Superior, her favorite place on earth. It was a perfect moment that marked the beginning of the next chapter in our lives. We have a relationship filled with love, admiration, challenging and enlightening conversations, comfort and solace, and breathtaking adventures. And of course, our little Sage who joined our family January, 2021 makes sure that we keep things light and sassy.
