Elizabeth and Spencer met on Elizabeth's first day of high school in Theater class. Spencer recalls trying to get Elizabeth's attention, but she was too busy taking diligent notes about stage left and right. Elizabeth remembers the Theater teacher joking about who had to sit next to the class "troublemaker" (Spencer) while she created the classroom's seating chart. Elizabeth thought to herself, "please don't make me sit next to him," but pretty soon, she wished otherwise...
Spencer planned a weekend trip to Canaan Valley Ski Resort in West Virginia. After a rigorous morning ski lesson with their overly enthusiastic instructor, the couple ventured into town for shopping and lunch. On a whim, Spencer asked Elizabeth to route them to a nearby state park, Blackwater Falls. There, they hiked down several flights of snow packed stairs taking great care not to fall and ruin the day. Spencer popped the question as soon as they arrived at the scenic overlook. ICYMI: She said "YES!" We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Columbus!
