Our Wedding

HOW WE MET &amp; THE FIRST DATEAshley grew up a country girl in Kentucky, dreaming of finding her true love. Amir was born in Bosnia and moved to Florida, where he too was searching for his happily ever after. The two met in 2019 the typical way most single parents meet these days... by swiping right on a dating app. They met up at a park in St. Petersburg for their first date and it was love at first sight. THEIR RELATIONSHIPAshley and Amir couldn't stand being apart for too long, but living an hour away from each other was tough. They saw each other and went out on dates as much as two single parents possibly could. Just short of a year of dating, in 2020, they decided to blend their family and moved in together. Their lives were never happier.Ashley and Amir love taking their kids on family adventures. They love nature parks, theme parks, and weekend staycations. In January 2023, they took the whole family to one of their favorite places, Walt Disney World. THE PROPOSALOn Friday, January 20, 2023 the whole family visited Magic Kingdom. For those that don't know, Ashley is slightly Disney obsessed and the Magic Kingdom castle is her absolute favorite. On that day, Amir surprised her by dropping to one knee right next to the castle. He asked her to be his forever princess and she accepted excitedly. They both had finally found their true love fairytale.
