In 2021, we met in college through mutual friends from our fraternity and sorority at Texas A&M University, our alma mater. From the very beginning, it felt like meeting a missing piece of ourselves and wondering where we had been all our lives. We fit seamlessly into each other’s lives and families, and it quickly became clear that this was something rare and lasting. With each other, things made more sense - and we knew we were building a future together.

From the beginning, we shared a clear vision for the life we wanted. We talked about the future early on, dreaming about what was ahead and mapping it out side by side. There was a sense of certainty and calm in knowing we had found our person. After graduating, we both moved to Dallas to start our new chapter.

Cole proposed on June 1, 2025 in Destin, Florida, completely surprising Ashton - and making the moment even more unforgettable when her family ran down to celebrate with us.

We admire in each other the qualities that have shaped our journey- Cole’s passion, drive, loyalty, and natural leadership, and Ashton’s kindness, empathy, and heart for everyone she meets. We have dreamed of our wedding day for years, and every detail has been chosen with intention, love, and gratitude for the people who have walked alongside us.
