In the whirlwind of dental school—where teeth were scrutinized, floss was celebrated, and debates about fluoride became legendary—two souls embarked on a journey that would lead to the most unexpected and unique proposal. Thus began the remarkable journey of Ashley and Brent, a tale adorned with dental instruments, laughter, and an unforgettable proposal under the twinkling stars.

Their story began in the midst of lectures and lab sessions. Ashley, the queen of crown preps, and Brent, the king of exams and quizzes, crossed paths. Little did they know that amid wax models and dental drills, their own love story was taking shape.

From swapping textbooks to exchanging witty remarks about orthodontic bands, their connection grew stronger. They discovered a shared passion for dental science and a mutual love for late-night snacks like bubble tea and Hot Fries. And while they navigated the complexities of dentistry together, their friendship evolved into something more—a bond that was strong, supportive, and full of inside jokes that only dental nerds would understand.

Fast forward to a winter's night that was colder than a dental chair seat. Picture a holiday light display at the Morton Arboretum that glittered like a well-polished set of teeth. Ashley and Brent strolled amidst the twinkling lights and illuminated trees, soaking in the enchantment of the moment, hoping to find the perfect moment for a proposal that had been playing on Brent's mind. But fate had other ideas, and the night continued without a clear opportunity.

As the night wore on, the crisp chill in the air grew more noticeable. And just as Brent found himself teetering between the urge to pop the question and the looming possibility of turning into a human icicle, a scene unfolded that could have easily come from a comedy sketch. It happened just as the event was wrapping up—closing time. Standing at the edge of a desolate parking lot, a fence separated them from a captivating light exhibit, and the exit sign was almost like a witness to the impending moment. Teeth chattering, Brent mustered his courage, capturing the moment. At the same time, Ashley's laughter erupted like a symphony. With bated breath, Brent waited, his eagerness almost melting the cold around him. Amidst a delightful mix of laughter, tears, and overwhelming joy, Ashley said yes. The two promptly scurried back to their car, eager to escape the winter freeze and warm their once-frozen fingers and toes.

Who would've thought that a freezing parking lot, dental school memories, and holiday lights would blend together into a proposal story as unique as theirs? But that's the beauty of Ashley and Brent's journey—a journey that began with dental instruments and evolved into a love that could weather any storm, even a frozen one.

Join us as we celebrate the joy, the laughter, and the imperfectly perfect moments that define our love story. As we say "I do," we're not just committing to a lifetime together, but also to a lifetime of laughter, adventure, and teeth-related situations that only we truly understand.
