Always living 6 houses apart for over 15 years, somehow destiny knew they were meant to be together. Steve decided to send a friend request to Ashley on Facebook in April 2015 after always seeing her outside of her house. They would chat randomly until they exchanged phone numbers and then the random days turned into everyday. Their first date was on January 27th 2016 and Steve romantically waited until Valentine's Day 2016 to ask Ashley to be his girlfriend. He sealed the deal with a beautiful Tiffany and Co band that had engraved all around 'I Love You'. For 4 years, Ashley wore that ring everyday until Steve decided to upgrade..

On their anniversary, the original plan was to go out to dinner but throughout the day it changed to 'let's just eat at home and relax'. Before dinner, Steve recommended that we should open our anniversary presents before anything else. While opening gifts, Steve put on "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls and finally after what felt like an eternity, he got down on one knee and proposed. Such a beautiful moment and through all the tears, it was a moment that neither would never forget.
