On this day, their mutual friend put on her Cupid wings and showed Spencer Courtney’s socials. One scroll later… bam—he’s in her DMs, shooting his shot. And the rest? Well, that’s history in the making. Major shoutout to Sarah for the matchmaking magic!

Just one day into texting, Spencer asked Courtney out—bold move, right? She said yes (of course!) and they made plans to meet at Hana after her shift the next day. That day at work? Total chaos. She was so close to canceling. But she went anyway… and thank goodness she did! Going in, she didn’t have high hopes. But the second she had to look up—and we mean way up—to meet his eyes, she knew she was in trouble (the good kind). He opened the door, led her to their table, and from that moment on, he had her completely charmed. They talked about everything—hobbies, families, their shared dislike for crowds… and best of all, Spencer kept hitting her with his signature “fun facts.” Safe to say, they totally won each other over. They had such a good time, they didn’t even notice the place was closing around them!

After one of their dates, Spencer walked Courtney to her car like a total gentleman. He took her hands, looked her in the eyes, and said he felt like this was something different—something real. Then he asked her to be his girlfriend. She didn’t even hesitate… mostly because she was already mentally picking out their Halloween costumes. It was an easy yes.

As their couples photoshoot crept closer, Spencer started acting… different. Suspiciously sweet—even sweeter than usual. He was noticeably anxious and pacing like he was trying to hit his step goal. Then came the real shocker: he asked Courtney to buy a new dress. Spencer encouraging spending? Now that was a plot twist. And the dress? He helped her choose it… and it just so happened to be white. Very white. Something was definitely up. During the photoshoot, the photographer had them stand back to back for a fun shot. As she counted down—“3… 2…”—Courtney turned around to find Spencer down on one knee, holding her dream ring. She froze for a second, completely in shock, making sure this wasn’t some wildly elaborate prank. But once it clicked, she jumped around and shouted, “I KNEW IT!” Spencer laughed, looked up at her, and asked, “Will you marry me?” The word “yes” flew out of her mouth before he could even finish the question. Honestly, they were already basically married—this just made it official. After he slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her hand, they hugged tightly. Courtney said, “About time,” which sent them—and even the photographer—into uncontrollable laughter. It felt less like a photoshoot and more like a rom-com blooper reel… it was perfect.

After some thinking (and realizing their shared hatred for crowds, chaos, and being the center of attention), they decided eloping was the obvious choice. A big, fancy wedding just wasn’t… them. No stage lights, no seating charts, and absolutely no line dancing. All they really wanted was to marry each other and kick off forever in their own perfectly low-key way.
