As every beautiful love story begins: after swiping left and right on Tinder, they swiped right on each other on January 15, 2018. They had their first date at Water Street Brewery in Oak Creek, WI. Ashley flirted with Spencer the night before by asking if she was allowed to kiss him if the date was going well and he said yes. It didn't happen. Spencer had to kiss Ashley first and will forever tease her for it. After eating, they went to Target and bought a game called Can of Squirms where you ask each other uncomfortable questions. Before they knew it, Spencer had asked for a second date and then a third and then a fourth and so on.
On May 21, 2019, Spencer and Ashley went to see John Wick 3. (Ashley hopes one day Spence will allow her to name a future pet, Wick.) He had spent the time before the movie trailers talking about how he bought a ring from Ashley's cousin's store in Baraboo. He even listed colors to which Ashley said they were HORRID. Turns out Spencer had been given Ashley's late grandmother's ring and he proposed in their living room after the movie. Their adorable dog, Snowball, was present. A couple months later, Spencer saved up money from his job to get her a ring so Ashley would not live in fear of something happening to one of the only pieces she has of her grandmother.
