Our story began on social media — proof that sometimes the best things really do start with a simple message. If you ask who made the first move, we’ll probably go back and forth, because from the very beginning it just felt natural for both of us.After talking for about three months, we finally met in person, beginning our long-distance chapter. We spent a week together every couple of months, making the most of every moment and quickly realizing that what we had was something special. Even the distance couldn’t lessen the connection we were building.Eventually, we took a leap of faith and decided to close the distance when Ashley moved to Texas, marking the start of our life together under the same roof. From that moment on, everything felt right.Four years later, here we are — ready to say “I do,” begin our forever, and start the next chapter of our journey together. What began as a message has grown into a love story we are so grateful for, and we can’t wait to continue our happily ever after.
