our story


John and Ashley originally met about 7 years ago at Florida State University. Ashley had entered John’s fraternity’s fundraiser pageant, and he was her escort on stage. Even though they drifted apart after they first met, they found each other again in 2020 right as the pandemic was starting. They reconnected via a dating app (this is the part when Ashley wants everyone to know that they did not meet on a dating app, but rather just reconnected LOL) when John came into town for a wedding. At this point, John had been in the Marines for a few years, and Ashley had just graduated college.

They texted non-stop as the beginning of the pandemic started to take its course with Ashley moving home to be with her family, and John primarily remaining on base at Camp LeJune. It didn’t take them long to realize that they had a great deal in common and that they wanted to be together in April of 2020.

The next two years were filled with an abundance of weekend trips as they tackled long distance between Atlanta, GA and Jacksonville, NC. Some of their favorite places they visited were Wilmington, NC, Charleston, SC, and Asheville, NC. If you know Ashley and John, you know that a lot of breweries were visited during those trips. After two years of long distance, one deployment, and one masters degree, they were finally able to close the distance and move in together to their current home in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

John is studying Finance at the University of Alabama where he plans to graduate shortly after the wedding in May of 2024. Ashley works remote for Revenue Cycle Coding Strategies as the Manager of Financial Analytics where she manages internal financial reporting and works with different areas in consulting throughout the company. With their current lease ending a few weeks after the wedding, they plan on making a move in April 2024, location TBD!
