Ashley & Justin met online on April 15th, 2023; shortly after getting to know each other, Justin decided to ask Ashley out on a date. One weekend later they met up and had a great date staying in and playing games. Shortly after Justin asked Ashley to be his girlfriend, and she happily accepted on April 29th Throughout the next few months, they have had many adventures together. Some included adventures in the U.P where Justin was able to meet Ashley's family and explore Tahquamenon Falls and Fayette. Other adventures including Ashley meeting Justin's family and exploring Silver Sand Dunes. With a decision made in June/July, Ashley accepted a job at Larson Elementary and Justin asked her to move in with him. With the help of friends and family, that dream was able to come true.

With Justin asking Ashley's dad for her hand in marriage, Justin was able to propose. On a quiet September night, while spending time outside on our front porch came the most wonderful surprise. With Ashley sitting outside on the front porch swing, Justin came out while playing their favorite song Magnet and Steel and proposed which Ashley happily accepted.

We are very excited to share our special day with our closest family and friends. Both Justin and Ashley wanted to have a spring wedding and to celebrate a new milestone. Ashley's parents also celebrate their anniversary in May (the next day on the 19th). Again, we are looking forward to celebrating our big day with everyone!
