Justin and Ashley met December 2019 at Lulu's on Main in Sylva, NC. Ashley was working as a server and Justin was a family friend of the owners. In the summer of 2020 Justin finally found the courage to ask Ashley out on a date. Justin wined and dined Ashley and quickly swept her off her feet. Immediately after the date Ashley called her mom saying "I am going to marry this guy," and the rest is history. July 3rd 2022 Justin asked Ashley to marry him. They are so excited to embark on this journey starting on October 14th 2023.
