Our Wedding

Charlie and Ashley met the good ole' fashioned way....at an Irish pub in Boulder, Colorado. Ashley had just recently moved from Palo Alto, California about 6 months prior and she was getting to know the downtown area. Charlie had lived here for 6 years and was well established in the community. We immediately connected that night and talked for hours. Charlie invited Ashley on a pizza date the following evening and that was it. We knew that we wanted to get to know each other better and so our romance began. Since then, Ashley shares Charlies love for baseball and Charlie shares Ashleys love for country music. They both share their love for Golden Retrievers, and especially their puppy child, Willow. Over the last several years, we've supported each other through good and bad together...Covid, a broken toe, horrible wild fires...etc. Some of our favorite things to do together are cooking, dancing in the kitchen, camping, bike riding, playing cards, hiking Willow and watching the Chicago Cubs play.
