Question

How did you guys get together?

Answer

We remember it like it was 3 years and 364 days ago... In June 2019, at a 100 degree summer convention in Fair Park, Dallas Texas, Walker, on the verge of heat stroke, dragged his friend inside a building to cool off. There he found a girl shopping he thought was really cute. (Hint: It was Ashley.) That same summer day, Ashley, in the throes of shopping mania, split off from her friend group to find a shiny thing or two, when a mystery man from behind offered a clever joke, a silly voice, and a pair of beautiful shiny eyes. (Hint: It was Walker.) After a while, they exchanged phone numbers, flirty looks, and went on their way. A few months later, they dated for a little bit, but the spark wasn't quite ready yet, and they parted ways, for it wasn't meant to be… (Don't worry, just let it cook.) … It turns out the spark was a late bloomer, and it had only gotten stronger as time went by. The two years simmering made them realize they'd only had a taste of what could have been. They thought about each other. They missed each other. But they had lost contact, and besides, it had been two years, would the other still be holding on hope? Would they even remember them? Well, as fate would have it, on June 3rd, 2022, a 100 degree summer day, they would run into each other at the same convention, each in the same outfit they had worn the last time in the hopes the other would find them and recognize them. Ashley was getting photos done on a balcony, and Walker was passing by in a hallway of hundreds of people. Blink and you'll miss it. A pane of glass was all that separated them... until she smiled and waved hello. And he walked over, smiling back. One dinner and many exchanged words later, they realized that they were each, indeed, literally crazy for each other. Two years and 364 days later, Walker and Ashley each pulled out rings and proposed to each other, and, as you will see, the rest will be history!
