Alex and Spencer met at the ever-famous bar, Brothers, downtown Milwaukee. Both groups of friends decided to go out on the town after separate shindigs and happened to end up at the same place. Alex's bridesmaid, Katie, went to high school with Spencer and his friends, and introduced her to them. When Spencer was at the bar getting a drink, Alex took her chance to say hello again. While alcohol may have been involved, it didn't persuade them not to reconnect in the next couple days. As they say the rest is history and seven years later here we are!

The morning after Alex's best friend, Jacqueline's, wedding, Alex and Spencer were packing for their trip to Vegas. Alex was upstairs ferociously packing, when Spencer yelled up, "Can you come down here for a minute?" Alex replied, "what do you want? I'm packing!" Spencer spit back, "well Hank has to ask you a question!" Alex was very confused because, after all, Hank is our 90 pound lab and cannot ask her a question. It then clicked what Spencer was up to and she came downstairs to Hank with a tennis ball in his mouth that said, "Hey Mom - Will you marry Dad?" However, mind you, it took almost five minutes to get the ball out of Hank's mouth before she could read it. Alex began to cry (partly for almost ruining his plan, but mostly out of excitement) and immediately said yes before he even got the chance to get down on one knee!
