How We Met

Love's a Brewin'

From the first time I laid eyes on her, I knew she was something special. Always a fashionista, she knows how to turn heads! We were at The Bear and Peacock brewery in Orlando and shared our stories over a couple IPAs. We sat and got to know one another. The conversation was so easy, it made me feel like we had known each other for years. A couple more dates, and a few drinks later we started on our adventure that led us to raising a puppy, buying a house, and me getting down on one knee. - Jeff

The Proposal

The Big Apple of My Eye

NYC is one of Ashley's favorite cities- the hustle and bustle, the people, the views.... the shopping! Timing was on our side with a music event we both wanted to attend. Since I had not been to NY in a long time, we decided to go a couple days early and make a trip of it. Though the weather tried to postpone our trip, and we had to cancel some first day dinner plans, we made it to NY in time to grab some late night pizza. The next day we went to tour Central Park. What she didn't know was I hired a photographer to set up a picnic in the park so I could surprise her and pop the question. With the support of surrounding tourists, I got down on one knee and she said yes! We celebrated the rest of the weekend, first with her amazing parents who flew out to be a part of the big day, with the hotel staff at The Surrey who went above and beyond to congratulate us, and with all our friends who joined us in Brooklyn! Hands down the best trip we have shared together thus far! - Jeff
