It's time to take a look at another one of our fabulous entries from our We Love love contest as we hear about Ashley and Rylan's love story.
The pair have been together for 10 years and met in their 20's but didn't begin dating till later as Ashley tells us:
"Rylan and I met in our late 20’s, after years of dating the good old fashion conventional way with no love in site, we’d both taken searching for love a different route. We spent very little time scoping singles out on a dating service called ‘Plenty of Fish’ before we were matched up with one another. Chatted a bit through the service and finally took the plunge and went on our first date. It was love at first site. It wasn’t long after that we deleted our profiles and have been by each other’s side ever since."
Although it was his smile that first attracted Ashely there are many things she loves about Rylan:
"Rylan’s smile was the first thing I fell in love with on our first date and nothings changed there. I couldn’t imagine laughing and smiling the days away with anyone else. Dating as a single mom was never easy, but Rylan took my daughter and I into his life and his heart almost instantly, this was one of the next things I loved about him. She’s since moved onto university and he always treats her just like his own, even through the difficult times that being a step parent brings. He’s taught her what it looks like to have a strong, supportive, male role model and set her up for successful relationship goals for her future. Fast forward 10 years and we’ve grown our family with two boys, a farm, and the countless pets I bring into our lives. He’s every bit the man I want to see our boys grow into, and sets this example every day for them. I love that he is kind and patient and always the optimistic ray of sunshine in my days. He makes me feel like the only woman in the world and I swear he lives his days with only one goal in mind…to make me feel loved. He takes life by the horns and his drive to live his best life is truly aspiring. Couldn’t imagine life without Rylan and look forward to years of adventures ahead side by side ❤️"
