We met the millennial fashioned way! We first met on Hinge and instantly had a connection. We hoped to meet up but work schedules made it complicated. A year later, as fate would have it we matched on The League (Ashley sparked Brian’s memory that he owed her a drink 😉). Brian then got Ashley a drink for our first date at Strangelove's and found there really was something exciting there...
We enjoyed exploring Philadelphia together while falling in love. Our first I love you was on a weekend trip to Baltimore to see the Browns/Ravens game. (Browns somehow pulled out the win & Ashley did not change her mind). Around this time, we also found out Ashley was going to be staying in Philadelphia for her Cardiology fellowship as she matched at Cooper, and Brian had a great job promotion, taking him to Columbus. Long distance was difficult, but we made it fun too!

Brian thought it would be great to get Ashley’s dad’s permission at the ravens game.. they had gone to the brewery owned by long term seat neighbors and were having a good time. Pam and Ashley went up to get a beer and he asked the question.. upon return to the seat Jim immediately spills the beans.. obviously Ashley knew
