“Ashley and I crossed paths while attending college at Montana State and quickly discovered we lived across the street from one another, which instantly created an inseparable bond and love. It started as an initial spark and quickly grew into a loving, enjoyable, and long-lasting relationship that promptly accelerated into an engagement. Both of us grew up in agriculture and these similar, yet different upbringings made us realize that we were truly a match made in heaven. We found love by enjoying common interests and adventures together and grew closer by navigating the joys and stresses of college while just being together and there for each other growing and encountering various life experiences. We were together for a little over 2 years before I knew that Ashley was the one to spend the rest of my days with, and we got engaged in December at Ashley’s family ranch, around her favorite time of the year. The rest is history as Ashley said ‘Yes!’, and we’re currently planning our wedding for this upcoming July at the Round Barn in Twin Bridges, MT.”
