Ashley & Michael

Our Story

Dating...

We moved to Colorado within 3 days of each other in August of 2006 both looking for a fresh start, Mike and I were friends long before we ever got seriously involved. After a while of always being at the same parties and social gatherings....I asked Mike out (I couldn't resist those dimples)! If you know Mike you would know that he was pretty shy when it came to those things so I didn't get the response I wanted...and what Ashley wants Ashley gets...kidding.. So I called him one morning really early when I knew he would still be in a sleepy fog and told him I was picking him up for Vietnamese and to be ready in ten minutes...no I didn't give him time to say yes or no (and because we lived 4 streets away in the same neighborhood it made this easy!) As the weeks went on we became inseparable and I didn't even have to insist:) Come to find out we both had been very fond of each other we just didn't have the guts to do something about it! We have been having great fun together ever since!

The proposal

The proposal

Since the beginning Mike and I have been very open and honest with each other about what we wanted out of life and our relationship so I kinda figured he would pop the question a few years down the road I had no idea it would be after almost one year of actual "dating" and while he was driving down the highway! Mike asked me very sweetly surprisingly calm while driving at about 75 mph down highway 36! I think I must have been in shock and silent for too long because after his very adorable speech he repeated himself, I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot that this question required an answer...and of course I said Yes!
