Since Mike and Ashley live in the small town of Bonita Springs and ran in the same circle, their paths would cross many times before the dating would begin. Then on April 7th, 2019 Mike asked Ashley to go to breakfast with him and although Ashley wasn't interested in a romantic relationship at the time, she said yes, because lets face it...Mike's very charming and a girls got to eat, right? With Mikes charming persistence and many dates later, spring turned to summer and a beautiful relationship bloomed. Then on August 31st, 2019 Mike proposed to Ashley at their favorite swimming spot and as they say...the rest is history!
