Ashley Jackson & Peter Rupp AUGUST 8, 2020
“SMOOTH SAILING� WRITTEN BY: Jessica Burke | PHOTOGRAPHER: Trevor Mark
Peter and Ashley's story began when the two were in high school, each a member of opposing sailing teams. Fortunately, theirs was a friendly rivalry and after 5 years as friends, their relationship blossomed into love when the two discovered they were both moving to Colorado. Ashley eventually found herself in New Orleans pursuing her Master's Degree in Architecture at Tulane; Peter found himself visiting her often. For his 30th birthday, Ashley took Peter on a surprise trip to New York. Unbeknownst to her, he, too, had a surprise planned. Peter had no idea where they were going, but he did know one thing - he was going to propose when they got there! Peter's mother was confidant in both Ashley and Peter's secret plans and helped arrange a carriage ride in Central Park to make the occasion special. It was a rainy day in New York as they took photos in the carriage at Bethesda Fountain and Peter proposed. Ashley, of course, said yes! 38 | N.O.W | theNOWBride.com
