Growing up in a small town, Ji-In and Spencer would occasionally cross paths (e.g. when Ji-In beat Spencer in a district spelling bee... and later a regional). Late in high school, Spencer finally got the guts to ask Ji-In out -- and the rest, as they say, is history. Life took them both to the University of Michigan where they stuck together through football Saturdays and busy class schedules. A year into Ji-In's Doctor of Pharmacy program, Spencer took a job in metro Chicago, starting 3 years of long distance. Many phone calls and wintery drives to and from Ann Arbor later, Ji-In's residency brought her to Chicago. What followed was the best year of Spencer's life. In a January storm, he couldn't wait any longer and found a quiet moment to ask Ji-In to marry him on the Clark Street bridge overlooking the city. In light of the many challenges of 2020, we are optimistic that vaccine availability and precautions will allow us to celebrate with you as close to our vision as possible. We cant wait to see you in 2021!
