Ashley and Casey have known each other for seventeen years and have dated for six. Although they grew up attending the same middle school and high school in Groton, Massachusetts, they were not well acquainted due to different interests and circles of friends at the time. It was not until 2008, when Casey expressed interest in visiting NYC to a mutual friend, that they were reacquainted. Ashley remembered how handsome she always thought Casey was and offered to be his tour guide...just to be hospitable, of course!
Casey began making regular trips to NYC after, and Ashley would visit Casey when she was home. After 8 months of long distance dating, Casey quit his job, sold his beloved car, and moved to NYC, where he and Ashley lived in a 276 square foot apartment on the Upper East Side for four years. That is true love! Two years ago, Ashley and Casey bought their first home together in Morningside Heights, and a year after that, on a freezing Saturday night, Casey proposed to Ashley in their living room.
