Behind the Design: Ash & Evan

What started as a surprise day out organised by Evan in a sunny location would soon turn into something far more magical for Ash. YouTubers Ash & Evan met back in 2020 and call themselves a ‘Corona Couple’. Having slid into his DMs after seeing a viral video he posted, Ash was impressed by how sweet and ‘gentle’ Evan turned out to be. They developed an online friendship which blossomed into wanting to meet up in person. Meet up they did, their first outing being a hike along the Bugembe Hill with a secret romantic picnic waiting at the summit. Evan brought his adorable dog, Tia, just to ensure he made the best first impression. They ended up dancing to Señorita in the middle of the wilderness.

Though this was their first meeting, it wasn’t their first date at all. They stayed friends for a further few months before their relationship blossomed into something more. After a health scare and spell at the hospital, Ash rushed to Evan’s side which made him realise how important she was to him, after which they made things official.  

After many travels together, viral TikToks, successful Vlogs and exciting photo shoots, came time for the proposal. It was an elaborate affair, with a decoy ‘chance photo shoot’, a live stream with Ash’s family in Kampala and a speech translated into Runyankole.
