Love at first swipe! Yes, you guessed it! We first met online. We knew right away that we wanted to meet up in person. We met at our favorite coffee shop in Ypsilanti called Sweetwaters. Fun fact: Sweetwaters has a coffee blend called the Arbor Ypsi Blend that we swear was made for us. From that moment on, we were pretty much inseparable. We have a hard time putting words to our love story, so we often communicate with songs. Spencer officially asked Tasha to be his girlfriend in 2016 with the song called Put A Label On It by Ryan Follesé. Tasha said the big three words by playing the song called My Best Friend by Tim McGraw.

Spencer planned an unforgettable night for Tasha. All Spencer told Tasha was to dress up and bring a bag along. We were in Chicago visiting his family for Christmas, when he had the big surprise planned. The first stop of the night was to get a drink at a bar on Navy Pier. Later, Tasha found out that was to help calm his nerves. After the drink, we took a beautiful stroll outside on Navy Pier. He was really killing time for our reservation, but Tasha had no idea. She was just loving how beautiful the skyline looked that night. Finally, Spencer told Tasha that he booked them a private ferris wheel cart. We get in our cart, and start to going around. Spencer looks at Tasha with the most beautiful stare of joy and nerviness. He told Tasha that he needed help with something, and before she could say anything he was on one knee with the most gorgeous ring in his hand. Suddenly, Tasha starts crying tears of joy and shaking her head yes. Tasha had no idea that Spencer had a few other surprises planned, which included having all of our family waiting outside the ferris wheel, to a delicious steak dinner with our families, and awesome hotel booked for everyone. It was such an unforgettable night that we had to put it to a song that was picked by Tasha's dad the night of our engagement called Big Big Plans by Chris Lane.
