Talk about a cute story! Ashlyn and Matthew are picture perfect!
Ashlyn says:
“So, our stroy is quite a funny one!! summer 2015 the first time I met matthew, he ignored me completely and couldnt even muster up a " Hello, how are you". We were both in different places in our lives. Fast forward about a year, I became really close with his mom and two sisters due to me and his mom becoming close at our work! later we ended up taking a trip to Indianapolis, IN for a Kenny Chesney Concert including me, matthew, his mom, and his younger sister. Well during this time Matthew barely spoke a word to me, but I was seeing something else....a future companion LOL.
January 2016 me, his mother, and two sisters took a long weekend trip to Nashville,TN. During this time apparently I couldnt shut up about Matthew, how cute he was, how down to earth he was, and how his southern charm was the cherry on top!
Came home from Nashvile, and his sisters went right to work on getting us to go on a date together! About two weeks later, we all went out for drinks, Matthew acutally spoke to me! and we clicked instantly! From that moment on, we had spent every waking moment talking with each other, and every weekend going on fun and new adventures together!
6 months later, my birthday rolls around. It's a tradition for me and my father to go to the state fair for my birthday and eat all the sinful things that all calories wound amount to in a months time LOL. Matthew came this year, with my dad present. It was such a beautiful day, we sat outside for some lunch and of course they stuck me inbetween the two of them. As i had my mouth full of over 1,200 calories, matthew pops out a box and sits it on the table in front of me with the biggest smile on his face, and my dads eyes already filling with tears. I immediately start tearing up! He not only asked me to be his wife, but to be his lifelong best friend in this crazy journey called life.
From that moment on, we were inseperable, and of course it became a family affair once his sisters and mother got the phone call that i had said yes! I always joke with Matthew that his family loved me first, and it just took him longer to catch on to the love. Now we are planning one of the biggest moments in our lives, and I couldnt be happier that he is giving me such an amazing BIG family to love and cherish for years to come.”
👰🏼💍She is going to make such a beautiful bride! We’re so excited!
