A Houston love story: When the mayor’s daughter met a former police sergeant's son
The table settings for the wedding of Ashley Turner and Jimmie Captain at The Citadel Houston.When Jimmie Captain first laid eyes on Ashley Turner at his mother’s retirement party, a nearly inaudible “Damn, she’s gorgeous” escaped from his lips.
The more time Captain spent with Turner, the more he realized how down-to-earth she was. Their first date was a drive-in movie, which the two hardly watched — instead, they cracked jokes and laughed the whole time. “She’s this laid-back and funny chick. The feelings grew as much as I tried to fight it,” he says.
They watched hundreds of movies together. Captain says he can recite movie lines like he quotes the Bible. Other times, he would sweep Turner away for quick trips to Galveston Island where the couple would walk the beach or visit Cajun Greek Seafood.In Houston proper, the duo spent every Sunday trying a different restaurant for brunch. They even made a schedule to stay organized.Ashley Turner and Jimmie Captain first met at his mother’s retirement party.
“For my personal relationship, COVID was one of the best things that could’ve happened,” Turner says. “It gave us time to pause. There were no more social outings and gave us a moment to spend so much time together. We were really able to solidify what we wanted to do and hone in on our relationship.”
Captain’s vehicle was the last in line. “I bought a sign that read, ‘Marry Us’ with pictures of my daughter. My hatchback was open and plush roses covered the trunk of the car.”Then began their 14-month engagement. “I love planning. It if was a love language, that would be mine,” the bride shares.
