Ashlee’s Version
Ever since 2014, I believe we both knew that one day, we would say “I do” to one another.
We met at Ted Lewis Park, in 2014. I was playing softball when Caleb swears he waved at me and I smiled back. We eventually found each other later in the day, and I remember thinking to myself..”WOW this guy is SO CUTE.” We ended up sharing phone numbers and all social medias! We started FaceTiming every…single…day. It was the cringey phone calls where neither of us would hang up the phone, so we would fall asleep on FaceTime. Eventually, we started dating, and our first kiss was at the Ted Lewis pool! After that, we spent everyday together. At least as much as my mom and dad would allow! I’m sure that Amy and Lindsey grew tired and annoyed by how much they had to drive Caleb to come and hangout with me. We dated for roughly 2 years and some change, and went our separate ways, dating other people. Although, nothing felt right. I remember talking to Caleb every-time my heart got broken. He would take me, or should I say, I would come and pick him up, and we would go to Bob Evans. A few years later, I came home from college, and Caleb and I started talking as friends, and the connection was still there. After all those years, God knew I was going to find him again, and we would fall back in love!
Here we are, 10 years later, getting married!
Caleb’s Verison
I was 13 at Ted Lewis park watching my cousin Sydney play one of her softball games. I wandered off to the other field to watch the other game going on and I saw the pitcher at the time and thought man she’s pretty. They finished the 3rd out and the pitcher looked at me, smiled, and waved on her way back to the dugout. After that I knew I had to introduce myself. I dm’d the pitcher that night and instantly was the easiest person to talk to. I completely forgot I had a girlfriend at the time and hung out with the pitcher that weekend and posted our first picture together. Never even “broke up” with my current girlfriend before I even told the pitcher I love her. I dated that pitcher for 2 years before I decided I wanted to try something else. As I went between my junior and senior year of high school I dated and I would always compare everything to my days with the pitcher. I always regretted cutting it off so I always kept in contact with her and treated her as my best friend. I even went to prom with her and had the best night of my life even thought she had a boyfriend at the time. Finally, 3 years had passed and I wanted my best friend and my life to be complete again. We finally got back together when I was 19 and my life felt whole again. I spent everyday with her and knew my heart was whole with her in it. I could speak my whole mind and my heart felt at peace. Every experience brought me closer to that pitcher I met on a random weekend. I couldn’t see my life any different, so eventually our story came full circle and I proposed to that same pitcher and asked her to be my wife. The rest is history and I could not be more fulfilled in my life and heart. Faa
