Our story
Ashley and Patrick met using the online dating app OKCupid, how very 2018 of them.
May 13, 2018
First time we met
Our first date was at a Starbucks drinking coffee and playing a small card game called Oregon Trail. The date was going well so they decided to move to Panera Bread for some lunch an a game of Pandemic at the table. Chemistry must have been going well as they decided to continue even further and head to Dave and Busters for some more fun and games.
2018 - 2020
We fell in love
During the 2+ years of dating we spent time learning about each other and ourselves. Our adventures included a trip to Hawaii, skiing, roller coasters, and many other great memories and fun times!

She said "Yes"
Patrick went looking for an engagement ring at the start of the the Coronavirus Pandemic. This made things difficult as a day later everything had shut down and a long wait had to start. Finally he got the call the store was open and the ring was in. It happened to line up with the weekend her mom and sister, Amy, were coming to town for a visit.
After lots of back and forth between Amy and Patrick, which I am sure Ashley had no clue at all 
, a plan was made (which was not followed at all).
They went to the beach, for pictures near the lighthouse. Patrick asked Ashley to write their names in the sand while he snuck behind her and got down on one knee. And the rest my friends, is history!
