In Alistarr’s own words: “Ashley and I met on a dating app in June of 2019. Our first date was a hike in Durham, NC a few weeks later. I don’t think either of us really knew or expected to fall in love on the app. We both kinda fell in love around the same time. It’s hard to pinpoint when but it didn’t take long. I think that we’ve learned a lot from each other. Patience is probably the biggest thing we’ve learned together. We look forward to all of the adventures we will have with not only each other but our kids as well. We chose Nantahala because it’s exactly what we wanted, location wise, in a wedding. We wanted to be surround by woods and mountains since that is where our first date was.”
