Kyle and Ashley met in November 2021 when Kyle was hired at Magnum Shooting Center, where Ashley had been working since April 2019. After a couple of months of Ashley trying to prank him with many things, she asked Kyle to grab a drink after work and little did he know she was interested in him. He “just thought she was being nice.” 😂

They quickly fell in love and over the next few months, they started talking about the future. On New Year’s Eve 2022, Kyle asked permission for Ashley’s hand in marriage, where he was given the family’s blessing.

The following June, Kyle took Ashley through the worst traffic he’d ever seen on I-24 to the top of Pikes Peak to ask her hand in marriage. Once reaching the summit, Kyle had Ashley look out to the front range and began his (well rehearsed) engagement speech. Half way through, Ashley thrusted her finger forward pointing at something and screamed “MARMOT!!” Kyle stopped talking and cut right to the chase.

To Ashley’s surprise, Kyle had arranged for her brother Bryan and sister-in-law Heather to be at the top to congratulate them! A little cheers with champagne in red solo cups never hurt anybody!

And now they are on their way to start their future and build a family together ❤️
