It all started in Vermillion, South Dakota - a college town full of energy, new beginnings, and, as fate would have it, the place where Ashley and Kyle's paths first crossed. Introduced through a mutual friend, Kyle came over for a bonfire at Ashley's house. Sparks flew (pun intended), and what started as a casual night with friends quietly lit the beginning of something unforgettable.

Their first official date was a cozy breakfast at Cafe Brule, filled with warm coffee, easy conversation, and that unmistakable feeling that something special was just beginning.

Over the years, Ashley and Kyle discovered they were basically the same person in the best (and sometimes chaotic) ways. Whether they're battling it out in Fortnite, attempting their best swings on the golf course (with more laughs than birdies), living in both their competitive nature (trying to beat each other in everything), or adventuring as a family with their son Beau, their life together is a perfect mix of fun, love, and laughter.

On January 27, 2024, in the comfort of their apartment in Sioux Falls, Kyle got down on one knee. Surrounded by rose petals shaped into a heart, he proposed in the most Ashley-approved way - simple, genuine, and full of love.

Their relationship isn't without its fiery moments (being so alike can do that!), but it's built on a foundation of humor, honesty, and deep connection. Together, Ashley and Kyle are writing a story full of joy, adventure, and a lifetime of memories.
