Our story starts early spring of 2023 where we met for the first time through a mutual friend. The first time we met we exchanged a few words and that was it. Later that summer , we met again at our mutual friend’s house to help him with renovations. We started talking and the rest is history! Our first official date was in Port Washington to take a walk on the beach and go to dinner, but it was cut short before it hardly started. The reason being that Ashley found an injured seagull and had to take it home to tend to its injuries. We went back to her house and watched a movie while the injured seagull rested in Ashley’s lap. We went back a week later to release the healthy seagull and continued our,”first,”

date . We started dating officially August 29. We had been dating for 15 months when we finally decided we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together!
