It all started on July 4th, 2018, at a North Shore party. Ashley and Frankie were both home from college—Ashley from Penn State, Frankie from the University of Miami—when they saw eachother, according to Frankie, for the first time. Frankie walked up to Ashley and said, “Hey, I think you’re really cute.” That one bold sentence sparked a summer fling that neither of them could shake… and truthfully, they never wanted to.

The years that followed were anything but simple. Life pulled them in different directions—different schools, different cities, different plans. But no matter how far apart they were, they kept finding their way back to each other. Cross-country flights, long-distance calls, breakups, makeups, and everything in between—through it all, their connection only grew stronger.

After graduating, they decided to stop fighting fate and give their love a real chance. From that moment on, they never looked back.

Now, almost eight years after that night, Ashley and Frankie are finally saying “I do.” Their journey has been wild, beautiful, and perfectly imperfect—and they wouldn’t change a thing.
