What began as an Instagram comment evolved into a journey around the globe with my two closest pals, ha ! I complimented ashley on her cuteness on her Instagram post in 2014. I know, I'm quite Bold ! Somehow, even though we don't have any friends in common, the algorithm led me to Ashley's page. What a coincidence, Im from Chicago and Ashley is from New York. After she responded, the rest is history. My best friend Ashley couldn't believe it when i told her about the random New Yorker i had exchanged numbers with on Instagram. She jokingly said that “might be the one ☤️”. (Yes, my best friend and fiancé share the same name!) Time travel through that year till January 2015. Ashley and Tiffany, Takelias two closest friends, boarded a plane for New York City. It so happens that the day after our first in-person meeting in New York , the city has one of its worst snowstorms ever. Due to Takelia and her friends' snowed-in hotel room with Ashley, there were many days' worth of flight delays and cancellations. A weekend getaway therefore swiftly evolved into a snow-filled week-long excursion. Following a week-long stay in New York. After a week, Ashley made her first trip to Chicago and instantly fell in love with the city 🌆, and star of course (lol) . The rest is history. We will make 10 years after our wedding day together. Nothing is better than literally marrying your best friend ! ✌️❤️
