Our journey began in 2021, aboard the Norwegian Bliss, where fate brought us together in the most unexpected of places—on a cruise ship! Ashlee was performing in SIX the musical as a swing, and Matt was playing Joe Pesci in Jersey Boys. From the moment we met, it was clear that there was something special between us. Ashlee still jokes that it all started when she complimented my hair—and somehow, that simple conversation turned into something neither of us could have predicted. Though we hit it off instantly, our story didn’t exactly followed the “normal” path…as actors usually do. We’ve navigated the ups and downs of a long-distance relationship, learning the true meaning of patience and commitment. But no matter the miles between us, we’ve always found our way back to each other. We’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and adventure, and we are beyond excited to take the next step in our journey together. We can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter with all of you!
