Our love story began, as so many do, on an online dating app. We had our first date on July 8, 2023 at The Drover Hotel in Fort Worth. Despite it being 105 degrees that night, we shared lots of laughs and witty banter. As we continued to date, one of the most fun ideas we had was to create a shared note to list all the date ideas we could come up with. After we went on each one, we would check them off the list on and attach a picture to it. We went on our first joint trip with Ashley’s family and went skiing in Angel Fire, NM. A few months later we took a trip to FL to visit Topher’s Mom. It was on this trip, 4.26.24 to be exact, that Topher proposed to Ashley. The proposal came during a sunset on Longboat Key. Both families have been supportive and can’t wait for the Wedding. One of the biggest winners is Topher’s dog, Banjo. Ashley has become his Mom and he loves going for long walks with her. As we close in on our wedding date, we can only say, what a blessing it has been to find each other and look forward to celebrating with everyone we love.
