After ringing in the New Year together in New York Ashley & Anton returned to California ready for a new beginning, 2013!  Anton had just started his new position with First American January 2nd and Ashley had signed her lease for her new apartment in Newport Beach and transferred schools to be closer to her work Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian. There were many celebrations in order that Friday and Anton surprised Ashley with dinner reservations at The White House in Anaheim.

 

 After discussing all the exciting events taking place, eating steak, sipping on champagne and indulging in her favorite dessert crème brûlée they drove to the Newport Beach Pier.  There as they walked hand in hand daydreaming about how all their aspirations, dreams and hopes were becoming reality; the best was yet to come!  Anton told Ashley how he was so happy and that they would only be happier together for life.  After nearly 5 years of dating since the day they met, Anton got down on one knee and asked "Ashley, Marry Me?" Ashley replied, "Yes!" while she was wearing yet another purple dress. The ocean had always been important to them and now more than ever their love was tied to Newport Beach where they had always planned on living together. Today Ashley & Anton have relocated to Northern California to be closer to her family.  Newport Beach will always hold a special place in their hearts!
