A Spotlight on Newly Engaged Couples
Meet Ashley & Sharkey – From the Show Ring to a Sparkling Future
This time around we are celebrating the engagement of Ashley Lea Poarch and Sharkey Cole Booher, a couple whose love story began in the most Oklahoma way: at a livestock show.
The Beginning –
Ashley, a 2020 graduate of Kingfisher High School, first crossed paths with Sharkey, a fellow 2020 grad from Coyle High School, at the Kingfisher County Fairgrounds that same year. Sparks flew quickly and it wasn’t long before they went on their first date to El Charro. The rest, as they say, is history.
The Proposal –
With a little help from a friend and a whole lot of heart, Sharkey planned the perfect surprise. What Ashley thought was a simple cookout turned into a glowing, unforgettable moment. A heart made of sparklers lit up the front yard, and right there, Sharkey got down on one knee and asked her to be his forever.
The Plans –
Now officially engaged, Ashley and Sharkey are joyfully planning their big day, set for June 6, 2026. They look forward to celebrating their love story surrounded by the friends and family who’ve cheered them on from the start. Congratulations, Ashley & Sharkey
