How did your love story begin?

It was a crisp autumn evening when our paths finally crossed. I wasn't looking for anything life-changing, just enjoying a night out, but then I saw Ashley. She had this vibrant energy that instantly pulled me in. We started talking, and the easy banter flowed so naturally it felt like we’d known each other for years instead of minutes. By the time the night ended, my world had completely shifted. That effortless spark grew into the beautiful life we’re building today my absolute favorite

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our favorite memory takes us back to the Meramec River, surrounded by towering bluffs and absolute peace. We loaded up the gear for a multi-day camping and float trip, stepping away from the daily noise just to focus on each other. Floating down the river under the summer sun, sharing laughs, and cooking over an open campfire as the stars came out—it was pure magic. In those quiet, uninterrupted moments in nature, away from the world, we realized just how perfectly we fit together.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we’d blend a little adventure with our future. First, we’d plan an incredible, stress-free getaway—maybe a return to a tropical paradise like Jamaica or somewhere entirely new where we could just unplug and explore together. The rest would go straight toward our next big milestone: updating our home, upgrading our vehicles, or investing in the bustling household we share. It’s the perfect mix of creating unforgettable memories today while building a solid foundation for tomorrow
