While living in Southern Pines, NC, we met while attending Sandhills Community College in 2019. Ashley of course made the first move hehe. Our first hang out was over dirty martinis, our first date was getting tacos together, our first vacation was seeing Anderson .Paak in Charlotte, NC. After a year and a half of dating, a few months of long distance, we decided to move in together in Boone, NC in 2020! That's where we adopted our cat, Picante. We have a shared love of the outdoors, cooking, traveling and making each other laugh. We've both spent our lives in the food industry as servers, but just made the switch to 9-5's this last year! That's what brought us to Asheville! We decided to elope on September 6th, 2024. A small gathering of us, our two witnesses, an officiant, and a friend of a friend's as the photographer. A huge thanks to Alexis, Maddie, and Owen for that. We cannot wait to celebrate and party with all the people we love! We're having our reception on our dating anniversary, 7 years together!
