It all started May 12,2022 at the Burris wedding in Clearwater Florida. Ashley was invited to go with her long term boyfriend, who decided not to go to the wedding at the last minute. Ashley flew in to FL the day of the wedding solo. Ronald spotted Ashley but small talk was all they did that night. Some months later they would reconnect at Lanes birthday dinner in Kansas City. Ashley drove in from STL and Ron made sure he sat across from her and talked to her all night, and he made sure before the night was over he would get her number. A year and a half of date nights, traveling every month to see each other and lots of hotel fees. Ron proposed and the rest is still left unwritten.
