Our Story<br />
AS TOLD BY THE GROOM<br />
I met Ashlyn when I was 16. She was<br />
the tall, beautiful, and smart sweetheart,<br />
while I was your everyday high<br />
school jock. Somehow, our relationship<br />
lasted for the remainder of high<br />
school and into college where we both<br />
attended Auburn University. Around<br />
the end of our first semester at Auburn,<br />
Ashlyn and I, through much prayer and<br />
counsel, came to the harsh reality that it<br />
was time to break up.<br />
Fast forward to the fall of our senior<br />
year of college–I was sitting next to JT &<br />
Michael (two of my groomsmen) at an<br />
Auburn Football game in late October.<br />
As all three of us stood to cheer on the<br />
Tigers as they ran out of the tunnel, a<br />
familiar face crossed my line of sight<br />
walking down the concourse. The game<br />
had not even started, but when I saw<br />
those big brown eyes glance at me, I<br />
knew the game was already over. We<br />
did not cross paths again until Blake<br />
and Rebecca Silver’s (both were in our<br />
wedding) wedding in January of ‘21.<br />
There, we met at the sandbox as we put<br />
out our sparklers after sending our dear<br />
friends off to their honeymoon. Before<br />
I knew it, we were the last ones to leave<br />
the reception that night.<br />
