Ashlyn and Nolan first met on Bid Day at the University of Alabama in the fall of 2020. They officially began dating that fall and spent the next few years building their relationship while enjoying college life together. After graduating in 2023, they moved to Birmingham, AL to start their next chapter. Port St. Joe has become a beloved getaway for them—Ashlyn’s parents retired there, and the couple has made many visits over the years. It’s a place that holds even more meaning knowing Nolan grew up vacationing there with his family, creating a shared sense of home and nostalgia that’s now part of their story.
