Bride: Bradley + Ashton
From the moment their paths crossed, Ashton Elizabeth Politz and Bradley James Keenen discovered a love that would span continents and decades. Ashton, a spirited soul from New Orleans, met Bradley, a determined man from Phoenix, during their sophomore year at Santa Clara University. Their eight-year journey together was filled with laughter, shared dreams, and unwavering support, gradually blossoming into a bond that neither distance nor time could diminish.
In early 2023, during a carefully planned trip to Chicago with friends, Bradley orchestrated a surprise that would forever change their lives. In the soft drizzle of a rainy afternoon at Lincoln Park, with close friends gathered around, he knelt down and asked Ashton to be his forever. Overwhelmed with emotion, she accepted his heartfelt proposal. The day grew even more magical when their families and additional friends arrived for a surprise proposal party, arranged by Ashton’s beloved aunt and uncle. It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated their shared love and the promise of a future together.
