A Love Story, Pawsitively Perfect

Max and Ashley's love story began in the digital age, a match made on the cosmic app, Hinge. On January 3rd, 2022, their profiles aligned, and the app declared them "highly compatible," a rare cosmic sign. Before their first in-person meeting, hours melted away in easy, flowing FaceTime conversations.

Their first date at the charming Barrow House in Clifton was more than just a meeting; it was the introduction of Max to Padmé. It didn't take long for their connection to deepen. By January 22nd, they were officially a couple, and by March, Max had moved in, a testament to the swiftness and strength of their bond.

Life, with its twists and turns, threw its share of curveballs at them. But their love, like a sturdy oak, weathered every storm, emerging stronger.

On a sunny August 3rd, 2023, in the idyllic setting of Ashland, New York, a magical moment unfolded. As they cuddled on the couch with Padmé, Max, with a mischievous glint in his eye, excused himself to retrieve a special toy for their furry friend. When he returned, he ushered Ashley outside, where a heartwarming surprise awaited. With a dog toy engagement ring in one hand and a real one in the other, Max popped the question. And, of course, Ashley said "Yes!"

As they embark on this new chapter, Max and Ashley are filled with excitement and anticipation for the future, a future filled with love, laughter, and the unwavering companionship of their beloved Padmé and now Leia.
