The New York Times – For Two Floridians, a Michigan Winter Solidified Their Bond

Ashley Knott and Tobias Kammerer met as University of Florida students and slowly built a relationship after reconnecting on her 21st birthday, navigating long distance and contrasting personalities. Their bond deepened after moving to Michigan together, where shared experiences, challenges, and milestones led to an engagement in Big Sur and a wedding in Coral Gables. The couple married in an intimate ceremony beneath the Banyan tree at The Biltmore Hotel Miami, officiated by the groom’s uncle and attended by 17 guests.
