During a virtual, post pandemic world Ashley and Marc met on an online dating site. They were just texting for a few weeks and had a date scheduled to go out and get dinner. Before they could even make it to that date though, Marc asked Ashley if she wanted some company at her apartment in Southie. Even though Marc was a stranger from the internet, Ashley got a good feeling from their conversations and decided to have him over. They talked all night and enjoyed getting to know each other. They had a great night and it was the start to their amazing relationship.

Over the last three years they have grown together and had many new experiences. They have gone on family vacations and taken several trips together; travelling to California was one of their favorites. They have supported each other through any obstacles life may have put in their path. Last Christmas, Ashley's favorite time of year, Marc decided to ask Ashley to be his forever. He took her to one of their favorite spots on Memorial Drive, overlooking the Charles River and the city skyline. Marc stopped some poor runner out for a nice jog and asked him to film the moment. Marc got down on one knee and asked Ashley to marry him. It was an easy yes from Ashley!

They now live in Charlestown together with their dog Tuukka. They do love life in the city but are already talking about moving to the suburbs, buying a house and starting a family. They are very excited for their future together and what it holds.
