Our Story So Far...

When We First Met We first met back in 2018 at a college bar while both attending the University of Tampa. We were introduced through a mutual friend and from there it was basically love at first sight ;) Sy Say's "I Love You" Sy spilled the beans a month after we started dating, he just couldn't hold it in anymore! Arlo The Schnauzer We knew it would last forever when we drove to Missouri the summer of 2019 to pick up our new puppy, Arlo. Long DistanceAshley and Sy went through 3 years of a long distance relationship while Ashley pursued her Masters in Michigan and Sy completed his Doctor of Chiropractic in Iowa. Sy Proposed Sy planned a beautiful, thoughtful proposal at the beach where he spent many summers. Ashley was very surprised and emotional! New Home We recently got our first townhouse together in Holland, MI and have had so much fun “adulting” together on our own. Our DayWe cannot wait to celebrate our WEDDING day with all of you! Time is flying by so fast and it wouldn’t be a special day without all of the people we love there to celebrate us.&nbsp;

Q + A

Driving to DYC:If you are driving yourself to the Detroit Yacht Club, please know that you now have to have a state park pass to drive through or will have to pay $14 for a day pass. If there is no DNR officer occupying the booth, just drive straight through. Transportation:It's always worth a try, but sometimes it is difficult to get an Uber to the Detroit Yacht Club. Reserving a ride ahead of time might work better but, just in case, here are a few cab options: City Cab Co (313) 833-7060Checker Transportation (313) 963-7000Taher Taxi Service (313) 707-7405
