ASHLYN & CONNOR HANCOCK J U LY 2 0 , 2 0 1 9

IT ALL BEGAN summer of 2017 in Destin, FL where Connor and I met at a leadership project with our college student ministries. Connor attended Missouri State University and I attended the University of Arkansas. It was the third summer we had spent in Florida at this same project, yet we had never met each other before. Summer ended, and we started our senior year of college 2 hours apart.

We kept in touch and he invited me to his fraternity fall formal. We had a great time and eventually he asked me on a date...to which I said no.

I had been in a relationship for much of my college career and I made a commitment to myself to spend a year not dating.

I told him if he was still interested he could ask me when that year was up. The day that my year of singleness ended, I got a call from him…and this time I said YES! After he graduated, Connor moved to Fayetteville while I finished my degree. We had been dating for 13 months, and on our way to a dinner date one night, he told me he needed to run an errand. We pulled up to an overlook at Mt Sequoyah. He parked and said "have you ever been here?".

Once I saw the arbor area, I knew! I started crying and he walked me up the hill and said "you can't cry yet! I haven't even said anything."

There were pictures of us, a bouquet of roses, and a bible with my future name on it: Ashlyn Hancock. I saw my best friend pop out and start taking pictures. Connor got down on one knee and proposed. I was crying the whole time but said YES! He had written a note and put it in the bible, so we sat down and read it together. We headed back to his house where friends and family were waiting to celebrate.

I always wanted a big wedding full of friends and family. We chose Holland Barn for our venue because of how open and big it is. We had our ceremony in the field and danced the night away on the patio. We had a wedding party of 22 people and over 200 guests, and even incorporated our golden retriever as our ring bearer. It was very accommodating, with various areas for people to dance, eat, and mingle. We have been married for almost 3 years now and we have endured lots of changes and growth. Although we got married on probably one of the hottest days of the year, we will always celebrate July 20, 2019 as the best day of our lives!
