Our Love Story

November, 2014

First time we meet

We were both studying Chemical Engineering in Tampa, and had a mutual friend. At her birthday party we were beer pong partners and crushed it! After that we started having classes together and spending more time together. Our first official date was to "All About Puppies", next was Chinese take out while studying, and then Jet Skiing. Kyle took Ashley to get her computer fixed at the Apple Store, and the rest was history.

2015-2024

Our Love Journey

After a year of many great dates and memories we decided to move to Chicago together, and from there to California. After three years, we took the next step and adopted our wonderful fur baby Roxie! We continue to build our connection through our mutual love of travel and exploring, through multiple trips to Hawaii, Cabo, Prague, the Bahamas and a year long road trip around the US.

Marriage Proposal

We were in Seattle visiting Maid of Honor Susan, and we had plans to go to a winery. While we were walking up to the entrance we passed some rose bushes, and Kyle asked to take a photo. While Ashley was trying to get situated for the picture, Kyle pulled a ring box out of his pocket and Ashley exclaimed "Oh!". Then Kyle got down on one knee and asked Ashley to marry him! Immediately after the proposal we had a special wine making class scheduled where Kyle had specialty "Proposal Blend" wine labels made and waiting for us. We then proceeded to drink a lot of wine and celebrate for the entire day.
