Dawson and Ashlee’s paths crossed many times throughout their lives. Dawson attended Oldham-Ramona-Rutland while Ashlee went to Chester High School. They had mutual friends and always knew of each other, exchanging polite hellos in passing.

The turning point came on January 15, 2021. Dawson went out with friends, and Ashlee happened to be the bartender that night. Trying to dodge the advances of a particularly persistent patron, Ashlee found herself gravitating toward Dawson for some much-needed distraction. Dawson, intrigued, began frequenting the bar.

From that moment, a beautiful friendship blossomed. They spent countless hours together, exploring new places and sharing adventures. The first year of their relationship was filled with unforgettable moments, including the discovery that they were expecting a child. On August 3, 2021, they moved in together, eagerly preparing for the arrival of their son.

Their lives changed forever on March 26, 2022, when their beautiful boy, Adler, was born. The joy and love they felt for each other and their son only deepened their bond.

On April 21, 2024, while working on a yard project at their Ramona home, Dawson decided it was time to take the next step. He secretly handed the engagement ring to Adler and told him to give it to mommy. Ashlee, puzzled, looked up to see Dawson down on one knee. Her initial reaction was a surprised, “um what the hell are you doing,” quickly followed by a heartfelt yes.

Their story is a testament to serendipity, love, and the beautiful journey of building a life together. They are excited to share this next chapter with you as they embark on their new adventure as husband and wife.
