On a beautiful day in Chicago, Bill and his friends were jumping off the top of the boat into Lake Michigan. Ashley, having many childhood memories of jumping off of her dads boat, swam over from another boat to join in.


We had our first date at Piccolo Sogno, a few days later. Shortly after, Ashley joined Bill at the BMW Championship at Medinah. She walked with him during the Pro-Am, which he and his brothers would win. Our relationship thrived through the stresses of Covid, supporting one another. Ashley, a CRNA, was caring for patients in the Covid ward. Bill and his brother, Dave, navigated unprecedented times to operate an “essential” business.


Our love for Italian food hit an all-time high on our two week travel through Italy. (Shout out to the “Cortona Crew”). We love traveling together and putting pins in our world map. Cruising through the Caribbean, historic trips to Charleston and Savannah, and relaxing in the mountains and on the beach.


Florida is a special place for both of us. Ashley graduated from Florida International University and has enjoyed many family trips to the Miami and Ft Lauderdale area. Bill has been visiting Naples since he was a child. The family condo is a hub for holidays and an escape from the Chicago cold. Now, both of us love visiting with Mom and Dad in Naples - cruising and fishing from the boat, and enjoying the pool and beach. Bill has taught Ashley his love for golf, too. She now outdrives him…


We cannot wait to see you all in Naples on our special day. We have enjoyed many sunsets there together, so our beach ceremony with a sunset backdrop is our opportunity to share one with you.
