We met in the online dating world… Ashley reached out to James on Bumble and there was electric connection from that point on. They talked all day and all night for a week straight. Ashley didn’t think James was real so she requested a FaceTime. Turns out James was a real gentleman and super handsome! The first date was planned immediately afterwards. On our first date James brought Ashley a flower and the date lasted 3 days!!! We couldn’t get enough of each other and by the third day we both decided we wanted to be together as boyfriend and girlfriend and there was no one else on this planet for us. The story continues…
James woke Ashley up at 3 am to get to her first surprise… he said we need to be there by 530 and it’s an hour and a half away… so she couldn’t sleep the entire night she was so excited. We arrived in Temecula and soon Ashley saw that we were going on a hot air balloon ride! She couldn’t believe James had arranged all of this and was ecstatic! Above the clouds one might say! The day wasn’t over after they soared in the sky above sunrise. James presented a sweet little book to Ashley with all their adventures. Ashley’s jaw dropped, this was the nicest gift she ever received. After they napped from a long morning James said “get dolled up we’re going on another adventure, I have another surprise for you my love!” They drove to Newport Beach, where Ashley was raised, and she said “ohhhh we’re definitely going on a boat!!!” He laughed and said “you’ll see”. We struggled to find parking but once we settled in, we walked to the Balboa ferry and onboarded the “Sunset cruise” Ashley was soooo happy she jumped up and down! Admiring the sunset Ashley said “Let’s get a photo of us while the sun is setting”.. so we asked a random man with his family to take our picture. As he took our picture James got on one knee,(he’s so clever), and didn’t speak… then Ashley said “OH MY GOODNESS what is happening” James finally said “I love you will you marry me!!!” Ashley jumped up and down, cried; and said “YES”. Meanwhile the man holding the camera was shocked and said “Oh my gosh is this a proposal?!!!” He started video taping us crying and holding each other tight. And here we are… so excited to celebrate with all of you.
