In the late summer of 2012, Ashley and her friends were playing volleyball outside of the University of Tampa gym. The girls had been recruiting passersby when Liam and his roommate walked by the courts on their way to the grocery store. Becca, a boisterous floor-mate of Ashley, called to the boys to invite them to play. Liam and Brent agreed and were assigned to the left side of the court, on Ashley's team (who, according to Liam, was wearing large, bug-eyed sunglasses). During play, Brent asked Ashley what she thought about when someone said Kentucky and she answered with "KFC." After playing for quite some time, and before parting ways, Ashley's roommate Lexi asked Liam and Brent if they wanted to join the intramural soccer team the girls were signing up for. The boys agreed and planned to meet in Ashley & Lexi's dorm room the next evening. During the team meeting, Lexi gave Ashley's number to Liam - and they've talked every day since.

In July of 2021, Ashley and Liam planned to go to Hollywood Studios to see the new Star Wars area. The evening before they left, Liam randomly asked Ashley not to wear her mickey ears for one of the pictures. Ashley though nothing of it until she was showering later that evening and realized Liam had never cared if she wore her ears in pictures before. She thought that maybe, just maybe, he would propose to her. The next day comes and Ashley didn't wear her ears for the entire morning. They were at lunch around noon and Ashley mentions to Liam that she thinks she's going to put them on after lunch, to which he replies that's a great idea. Ashley instantly knew she got her hopes up for nothing but wasn't going to let that ruin her day. After lunch, Liam and Ashley had time to kill before their reserved fast pass for the Rise of the Resistance so they found a bar to grab a beer. Liam went to use the bathroom and, after quite some time, texted Ashley letting her know that he was having some issues in the bathroom. This was no surprise to Ashley. When Liam got back to the bar, he rushed Ashley to leave as two employees stopped him and offered a special experience for the Rise of the Resistance ride. Ashley was annoyed that she had to throw away her perfectly good beer, but followed along to see what was in store for them. After being walked up to the fast pass line, the employees left Ashley and Liam alone. After going through the line with the rest of the riders, a cast member called out Ashley and detained her and Liam in their own room. Once alone, this is where Liam proposed to Ashley, and Ashley said YES.
