Our Wedding

It all began on New Year’s Eve at a mutual friend’s house—one of those nights full of energy, confetti, and just a little magic. That’s when Jason pulled out his phone and showed me a YouTube video of him playing the drums. A bold move? Definitely. But it worked. That was the first spark We hung out a few times after that night, but Ashley wasn’t quite convinced. Jason was patient. Persistent. And a couple of Ashley’s close friends eventually told her, “You’re probably going to marry this guy if you just give him a real chance.” Spoiler alert: they were right. As we started going on more dates, things fell into place naturally. We found ourselves diving into deeper conversations and realizing how much we had in common—not just in hobbies and interests, but in the bigger things too. We were on the same page about family, the future, and the kind of life we wanted to build together. Over the years, we made amazing memories—multiple San Diego getaways, countless river trips, and some of our very favorite adventures: camping. Our very first camping trip was one for the books. We arrived late, couldn’t find our site, set up everything in the dark, left the truck doors open and invited half the insect population in, and then discovered we forgot firewood. But somehow, it turned into one of the best weekends ever—and kind of set the tone for us: even when things go hilariously off-course, we always find our way together. Then the world changed. When the pandemic hit, we got a crash course in what living together really meant. Quarantine, job changes, uncertainty—it was a tough time. But we leaned on each other, adapted, grew, and celebrated one of our biggest milestones yet: buying our first home. Something that once felt out of reach, we made possible together. A year and a half into being homeowners, Jason had one more surprise up his sleeve. What Ashley thought was a simple birthday party turned out to be an engagement proposal—surrounded by friends and family. Jason could barely get the words out (cue the nerves), Ashley couldn’t stop crying (happy tears!), and just like that… she said yes!
