Ashvanni: the journey that started it all 💕

The final 😱💕

Ashley's PoV
It was Friday and it was the day before the final. Everyone was here all the celebs who left the show. So I was currently sat in my dressing room talking to Vick cause you know she's my girl. I was telling her about how me and Giovanni are and about my pregnancy. She was really happy for me and I was happy she was as well. Giovanni came in and he gave me a peck on the lips. Today was the first time I haven't woke up next to him since we started dating. So I hadn't seen him all morning. I cuddled into him as we talked to Vick. It was soon time to start rehearsals. We went through the beginning routine that was starting the show and then the celebs that went out during the show practiced their dance. I was sat in the audience next to Giovanni.
G- you excited for the holiday
A- yes I'm so excited cause I get to spend it with you and we'll be meeting up with Janette and aljaz and my friend bobby.
G- yeah I can't wait either we're gonna have an amazing time baby
He said wrapping his arms around me placing his hands on my belly. I looked up at him and smiled and leaned in to give him a kiss. We pulled away and I cuddled into him.

Saturday
I had finished my first dance which was the judges pick and they chose our salsa from week three which brought back memories cause that's when gio asked me out. I was currently getting ready for my show dance and I had a purple dress on and I had my hair in a low ponytail with a purple eye. Giovanni walked backstage as he had just finished his dance I had to go back to the 'clauditorium' as people like to call it. He gave me a quick kiss and a good luck before I walked away.

We were with Claudia after the celebs finished their routine and I was stood next to pash and gio. I was holding his hand until the camera men said that the camera was coming onto us. Claudia asked us questions and then there was some music.

"I can now announce the winner of strictly come dancing 2018 is..."
My heart was beating out of my chest as I was really nervous. "ASHLEY AND PASHA" I screamed and fell to the floor tears falling out of my ears. I could hear my mum cheering as well. Pasha stood me up and hugged me. Giovanni ran over and hugged me, joe and Dianne ran over and hugged me and Stacey and Kevin done the same thing as well as Faye. I was speechless. "Ashley if you can speak what would you like to say to pasha" Tess asked me. "Omg there's so many things I wanna say. I just wanna say you have been so patient with me, your choreography has been amazing, and we've become such good friends and I've made so many good friends on this journey including all of these people on the floor and all of them peeps up there. But we managed to have so much fun and have such a laugh together and you will be a friend for life." I said with tears running down my face. Pasha said his speech and then they gave us the glitterball trophy. Giovanni came over and hugged me and Vick ran to the floor and hugged me. Giovanni and Kevin lifted me up on their shoulders as others done the same to pasha. This will truly be a memory forever.
