OUR STORY
Ashleigh and Hayden’s story technically started in high school—but only if you count being in the same friend group and somehow never getting introduced. Hayden, a football player from Prosper, and Ashleigh, a cheerleader from McKinney, grew up just a few towns apart.
It wasn’t until college that timing finally stepped in. After a few hints on social media from Hayden, Ashleigh asked him to be her date to her sorority formal. Their first real date involved some hilarious attempts at painting and watching The Hannah Montana Movie. From that night on, one date turned into many, and before long, they made their relationship official!
Over the next two years, their long-distance relationship spanned Hayden’s Master’s program at Coastal Carolina and Ashleigh’s graduation from the University of Arkansas, including many weekend visits and FaceTimes to see each other! Then, at Sassafras Springs Vineyard—surrounded by friends and family—Hayden got down on one knee.
And now, they can’t wait to start this next chapter together.
