Our Wedding

Drake and Ashley met on Bumble in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. After Ashley chickened out of the first date (and almost the second first date), the couple hit it off at Chili’s. While Ashley thought Drake was part of a Subaru cult (he wasn’t) and Drake thought Ashley grew up spoiled (she was), they put aside their reservations and leaned into their blossoming relationship. Drake introduced Ashley to the world of classic Adam Sandler movies, and Ashley helped Drake discover the magic of snowballs with marshmallow. They hit the gym together, slammed some pancakes together, and picked up plenty of dog poop together. Simply put, they enjoy doing life together! Throughout dating, Drake and Ashley tried several apartments across different towns before purchasing their home in York just minutes from where Drake grew up. Shortly after, Drake proposed on the Kissing Bridge while strolling through Christmas lights. Drake immediately regretted it when Ashley dragged Drake to five different wedding venues the next week. Today, Drake is a K-9 handler with Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office and Ashley is leading a team at WebFX. They absolutely adore their three stinkers - Henry, Freya, and Atlas - and are still picking up plenty of dog poop together. While it’s hard to recognize the “babies” they were at the beginning of their relationship, they love the life they are building together.
