Ashley and Chris met in the most unexpected way possible: on Hinge. Because nothing says “true love” like algorithms, endless swiping, and awkward first messages. One oyster-filled first date later, they were already laughing like old friends and wondering how something so new could feel so easy.

On that same date, Ashley cracked a joke that made Chris literally spit out his drink—a true meet-cute moment, even if Chris has no idea what “meet cute” actually means (which explains a lot about them as a couple).

From that night on, things just made sense. Whether exploring new cities, playing games (very competitively), trying new foods or unwinding with their dogs, they quickly became each other’s favorite person to do everything with.

Their love is built on humor, curiosity, patience, and the kind of friendship that makes even the dullest errands feel like an adventure.

Chris proposed in Florence, Italy, in front of the Duomo. They celebrated with one of the best steaks they’ve ever had and the kind of joy that only comes from knowing you’ve found your person.

Now, surrounded by the people they love most, Ashley and Chris are thrilled to start this next chapter together. They are so grateful you're here to celebrate their love with them.
