Max and Ashley first met in 2005 when they both attended Arizona State University (in fact they shared their first ever college class).
They have adorable flirty and embarrassing messages back and forth freshman year, but that's as far as it went!
They reconnected when Max visited Scottsdale in February of 2017 (where Ashley was currently living).
He looked up Ashley, swooned her with the fact they had the same dog breed, and their first date at The W marked the beginning of their love story. Awwwwwwww! So cheesy.
They bonded over their shared obsession of King Charles Cavalier pups.
Max owned the white and brown food-stealing, attention-whore, glamazon Brie, while Ashley owned the black and tan squirrel-obsessed, snuggle-monster, hugger Tini (previously named Cash).
Their second date was in Napa. Followed by Sedona. NYC. Los Angeles.
After three months together, they moved in together in the Hamptons.
They've done a ton of traveling together, including: Paris, London, Rome, Portofino, Florence, Lake Como, Modena, Tuscany, Capri, Wisco, Tucson, Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Oregon, Miami, Boca Raton, the Maldives, Bali, the Hamptons, NYC, Phili, Maine, San Fran, Austin, Maui, Hana, Kona, Provence, Gordes, Saint Tropez, Seattle and probably more that have been forgotten.
Max made Ashleys dreams come true in the creation of SUTRA Superfood Latte. Having little to no e-commerce experience, Max and Ashley (with their friend Matt Tamasi), went from idea to physical product in 3 months.
In 2017, Max sold his company Sales Hacker to Outreach and became VP of Marketing. It is an incredible accomplishment at such a young age and Ashley and the pups happily made the transition to Seattle.
They were quite surprised, but incredibly excited when they found out in January of 2019 that they were expecting a little girl!
Ashley had a rough 1st trimester (lots of pukedy puking), but a wonderful 2nd and 3rd trimester, as well as birth.
They welcomed Tatum Isabel Altschuler (nicknames include Tate and Tater tot) September 1st 2019.
Tate's current interests include her sister pups, staring at light, and of course mommy's boobs.
The wedding will take place in Minnesota. The vibe will be 'backyard BBQ' and will consist of a weekend filled with eating, pooling, and snuggling up.
