Charlie was a junior at Coastal Carolina University and Ashlyn had just moved onto campus as a freshman. On September 3rd, Charlie asked Ashlyn to go on a Sunday morning coffee date. He picked her up from her dorm, they grabbed some coffee, and then he drove her to Ocean Boulevard in Myrtle Beach where they walked and talked for hours.
Charlie and Ashlyn soon were spending all of their free time together. They spent many of their first dates late at night, on the beach. They would walk the shore line for hours, talking about everything under the moon. It was here, on the beach, that they fell in love with each other.
They spent all of their college years together, many trips, and late night milkshake runs! After graduation, Charlie moved back to Wisconsin in 2019 & Ashlyn followed shortly after in 2020. Since then, they have had many firsts together. From getting their first apartment to moving into their house together. They got their first pet, their golden retriever Forest. Now, they are ready to walk down the aisle and celebrate with all of their loved ones!
