we're so excited to celebrate with you!

Long story short, we met by coincidence at an All American Rejects concert at the St. Leonard Fire Department. The story is a pretty good one. They day of the concert, the skies opened up and it was a torrential downpour all day long. Marisa was trying to get out of going to the concert all together because of the weather. Her friends convinced her to put on some rain boots and suck it up. Spencer was ready to go either way. Both of us had general admission tickets and ended up pushing our ways up to the front row. That's where we met. Marisa turned around and saw his cute smile, after a brief introduction of who we were, Spencer used the pickup line, "*Drake* could be your last name", and he kept his promise. We spent the night singing and dancing in the downpour. From that concert forward we couldn't wait to keep learning more about each other.

We spent almost an entire week hiking, eating, swimming, and exploring Hawaii. On one of our last nights, we spent some time at our favorite tiki bar and walked to the beach to watch the sunset. That is when Spencer proposed. The setting was absolutely beautiful and we spent time afterwards to sit on the beach and take it all in. We couldn't get in a restaurant to celebrate to save our lives but then was able to find the perfect spot off the beaten path thanks to our friend Becca! It was the most wonderful of vacations and we hope to go back.
