I first met Ashley on September 2nd 2018, I had just moved from my hometown to Keene, NH to serve at the church that her father was pastoring at the time. The first Sunday after I moved there, they invited me to lunch and to spend the afternoon with them. When I first met her, don't mind the cliche, I knew there was something special about her. I spent the next 2 weeks getting to know her and watching myself fall in love with her. I asked her on a date, and it was 3 days after, that I knew she was the woman I wanted to marry. We spent the next 2 months getting to know each other even more and continuing to grow in love with each other, and when the time came, I knew I couldn't wait anymore. November 23rd 2018, I asked Ashley Graves to be my wife, my companion, and my best friend for life, and she said yes!
