Ashley & Ryan both grew up in Brooklyn, NY... Ashley is from the 100's & Ryan from the 50's. They crossed paths more times than they can remember, but their official documented journey started in 2006 with a Facebook message. Ryan tired to shoot his shot... let's say the ball hit the back board but missed the rim. A month later, Ashley ended up on Ryan's block waiting on a friend where Ryan tried yet again, and this time, the ball was an air ball. But don't feel bad for Ryan because he got his revenge... In February of 2007, at a mutual friend's birthday outing at Gil Hodges Bowling Alley... this is where Ashley (aka Diamond) was formally introduced to Ryan (aka Hollywood). Little did Ashley know, this guy was the same one she ignored on 2 previous occasions. Ryan however knew who Ashley was and at this point was no longer interested in Ashley, but Ashley was very much interested in getting to know Ryan... so she sent her friend to get his number... and on March 28th, 2008 they started their journey as boyfriend and girlfriend. We don't have all day to fill you in on the ups and downs over the last 13 years but these two young love birds endured and experience a lot together. Their love blossomed into a loving family of 8: Ryan, Ashley, Bryan, Caylee, Cylie, RJ, Malachi and their dog Kobe. Now they are embarking on a new journey... On November 21st, 2020 Ryan asked Ashley for her hand in marriage #AboutPhillipTime! We ask that you join this beautiful family on May 15th, 2022 on their journey to I DO!
