How We Met

Andrew and Ashley met in August 2005, their sophomore year, at NC State. Ashley and Andrew both lived at University Towers and met through a mutual friend, Brandon Moorefield. Ashley thought Andrew was a very handsome and friendly young man but kept those thoughts to herself until November when Ashley found out Andrew was a single man. Ashley asked Andrew out on a date to celebrate his 20th birthday, (yes- Ashley made the first move), and they have been together ever since:).
