David and Ashlie first met on their first day at Baylor University. David had met Ashlie's roommate at Line Camp, which is a summer camp for incoming freshmen. He was coming over to help her roommate originally, but he ended up being distracted by Ashlie and helping her instead. David and Ashlie became quick friends and would study together, go to football games together, and get flying saucers at Memorial Hall together between classes (Baylor alumni, if you know, you know).

After sophomore year, Ashlie moved to Dallas to pursue her nursing degree, and David focused on his studies in Waco. They always were friends and would keep in touch every now and again.

Five years later, Ashlie decided to be bold and message David on social media. She was in Durham, North Carolina working at Duke University Hospital, and David was in Washington, DC about to finish grad school. As if no time had passed, Ashlie and David started talking and could not stop.

After a few visits to each other, they decided to make it official and become boyfriend-girlfriend. Ashlie surprised David with a pet bunny named Toast, and David brought home an adorable puppy named Skye.

Eventually, Ashlie moved to DC, and the long-distance struggle was conquered. They have done just about every single escape room in the DMV area. They love puzzles and games that challenge them. In fact, David proposed to Ashlie in an Escape Room.

Ashlie and David are thrilled to have you part of their next chapter in their epic love story. They also want to emphasize that even if time and distance pass, if you are meant to be with someone, you will find your way back.
