HOW FITTING THAT LAUREN ASHLEY AND JASON SHARED THEIR FIRST DATE AT A COFFEE SHOP IN NASHVILLE. AFTER A FEW SHARED MACAROONS, SOME MEANINGFUL STORIES AND A FEW STORYBOOK DAYS SPENT TOGETHER, LAUREN’S DEPARTURE FROM NASHVILLE IN THE COMING DAYS Wouldn’t be HER LAST.

DEVELOPING AN INSATIABLE LOVE OF SKYPE DATING, THE TWO QUICKLY FELT THE HIGHS AND LOWS that A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP OFFERED. The 3 ½ hour difference between nashville and atlanta CREATED TIME FOR THE COUPLE TO GROW THEIR RELATIONSHIP INTO A DEEP LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. DESPITE THE BETTER JUDGEMENT OF THEIR PARENTS, THE COUPLE TOOK TURNS DRIVING TO SEE EACH OTHER EVERY WEEKEND FOR 9 MONTHS—TOTALING MORE THAN 20,000 MILES IN DISTANCE.

FOLLOWING Jason’s DECISIVE MOVE IN THE WINTER OF 2011, THE RELOCATION TO ATLANTA SET THE RELATIONSHIP ON FIRE, AND THE COUPLE HASN’T LOOKED BACK SINCE. SHORTLY AFTER MOVING TO NEW YORK IN THE Summer OF 2014, JASON PROPOSED TO LAUREN by incorporating her passion for art. THE PROPOSAL INCLUDED JASON RENTING OUT an entire GALLERY AND HANGING custom art OF the couple’s shared MEMORIES over the past THREE YEARS TOGETHER. WITH AN AUDIO-GUIDED TOUR TO TOP IT ALL OFF, JASON ASKED FOR LAUREN’S HAND AND LAUREN TEARFULLY NODDED “YES!”
