How Ash Met Toby: They Met at Church… Then He Moved in With Her Grandparents, and a Surprise Proposal
How'd You MeetShow Notes
In this season finale of The How’d You Meet Podcast, Lauren sits down with Ashley Couchman to hear the story of how she met her husband, Toby. A story that began on the very first day of a brand new church.
Toby had just moved from Queensland to help plant the church, while Ash and her family had been searching for a church home for over two years. When they both arrived at that very first service, neither of them could have known what would eventually unfold.
After building a strong foundation of friendship, their relationship grew over time into something deeper. From Toby moving in with Ash’s grandparents, to a surprise proposal during a girls’ trip in Tasmania, their story is filled with unexpected moments and thoughtful intention.
Together, we talk about timing, friendship, navigating anxiety, and what it looks like to build a relationship grounded in faith and community.
Ash is a morning announcer on The Light Melbourne and host of the Everyday Joy podcast, and she brings both warmth and wisdom to this conversation.
This episode is a meaningful and fitting close to Season One, a reminder that God’s timing is intentional, and that some of the most significant stories begin in the most unexpected ways.
