Our Wedding

Christian and Ashley met (on Tinder) for the first time in person&nbsp;at&nbsp;Side Door Pub's&nbsp;happy hour&nbsp;on September 30, 2016. Date #1 lasted about&nbsp;three hours and Ashley went home with smiles on her face. Christian was very&nbsp;eager to see Ashley again so&nbsp;we&nbsp;met up the next day at The Station Tap House to watch the West Virginia and Penn State games (a year later Ashley even got Christian to a Penn State Game!).&nbsp;The first time Christian met Ashley's parents&nbsp;was Halloween. He showed up in an all-orange Jack O'lantern sweatshirt, making a lasting impression. We&nbsp;still talk about it to this day!&nbsp;

Before we&nbsp;knew it, we were "Facebook" official on December 10, 2016 (our favorite&nbsp;month of the year!). We celebrated our first Christmas together with&nbsp;Christian dressed up as Santa at his annual Christmas party in&nbsp;Manayunk, PA. We quickly started spending&nbsp;most weekends together in Manayunk or in Montgomeryville.&nbsp;Over our first year of dating, Ashley learned to ski for the first time. Luckily, after Christian giving Ashley some pointers on skiing, we are still together!&nbsp;We moved to Doylestown in January 2018 and, with the help of our parents, we made our house&nbsp;a home.&nbsp;&nbsp;We&nbsp;have enjoyed going to concerts, Phillies and Eagles games, spending the summers in Cape May, and Christian quickly&nbsp;learned Ashley's love for Fall festive activities. Christian also knows Ashley's love for sunsets, which was the perfect spot for our engagement in December 2018. Our love for each other is endless and filled with many laughs. We are so excited to celebrate our wedding with you all!&nbsp;
