Ashley + Joe...It all depends on who you ask, really.

For some, we met through mutual friends. Others believe we met by pure random chance. Some even believe that simple gesture was all it took to start our journey.

Technically, they’re all right. The mutual friends were on Facebook. The pure random chance was an app algorithm, and the polite gesture was a swipe right.

That’s right, we met on Tinder.

But that’s far from the whole story. From the moment we first met on the corner of 5th and Colorado in Austin, Texas, we knew we had discovered something special. Some of our closest friends agreed. And those friends assure us it wasn’t just because we asked them to tag along to minimize the awkward factor.

We’ve come a long way since that day, and we know there’s still thousands of adventures (and slices of pizza) ahead. We can’t wait to take the next step with all of you.
