I had just moved to Dallas a week prior when one of my friends invited me to a birthday party bar crawl. I decided to tag along thinking it would be a great way to meet new friends. Little did I know I would end up meeting "the one". I complimented Patrick's shirt and the rest is history!

On a Saturday in April I was attending a birthday party. A mutual friend brought a face I hadn't seen before to the bar crawl. I was immediately interested and once she opened the door for conversation I used the rest of the night to convince her to go on a date with me....I guess you could say my charm worked since we are getting married!

Our first date Patrick took me to a quaint pizza place. He asked me to pick our pizza and I of course chose the spiciest option on the menu. Patrick said sure, sounds good without any hesitation. Halfway through dinner I looked at Patrick to see he was sweating and chugging water. I laughed it off as first date nerves...A couple more dates into our relationship I learned Patrick didn't eat spicy food...ever. He just wanted to make sure I got what I wanted on our first date. This is Patrick to his core. He will always go above and beyond to make sure everything is just right and I'm happy. I truly couldn't ask for more!

I knew very early on Ashley was the ONE. I had planned the perfect proposal, in her dream location Versailles, France. However, COVID had other plans...We were no longer able to go to Europe and her perfect proposal was out the door. So ensued Plan B...I made her sweat it out a few months longer to catch her off guard and make it a complete surprise. She had mentioned she wanted to do a staycation for awhile. She picked a weekend, booked the hotel and made all the plans. I realized this was my opportunity. That afternoon we checked into the hotel and I made an "early dinner reservation" on the rooftop. The glass elevator doors opened with rose petals spelling out "Marry Me" and a bottle of champagne. I have never seen so many tears! And this is where our life begins!

Here we are many months later ready to say "I Do". We are excited for our future and can't wait to expand our family. We look forward to seeing you all in Dallas, TX to celebrate this next phase of life with us!
xoxo, Patrick & Ashley
