All the way back in 2015, Mitch begrudgingly agreed to help his friend, Ashley, with her class project by providing some voiceover for a presentation. When the day came, Ashley texted Mitch to let him know her groupmate "Spencer," would be joining them. Not thrilled by the idea of having some random guy in his apartment, Mitch was pleasantly surprised to find out that Spencer was not some fratty j-school bro, but a beautiful and intelligent young woman from Southern California :) Shortly after wrapping up, Mitch texted Ashley to scold her for obscuring Spencer's true identity as a 10/10 baddie before bringing her over. Funnily enough, Spencer had just gotten done telling Ashley she would've appreciated a heads up before ending up in a cute boy's apartment with minimal makeup on and an oversized sweater with a slot machine embroidered beneath the words "Grandmas deserve fun too." Luckily, Ashley smoothed things over by putting the two in contact with one another. With Spencer's busy schedule and Mitch's planned summer abroad, it took a few months but by September of their senior year at Mizzou, Mitch and Spencer were already well on their way toward spending the rest of their lives together <3
