How Our Story Began

First Semester Of College

Our love story began back in the fall of 2015 in Athens, OH. Spencer and I lived in the same dorm, Washington Hall. Spencer lived approximately 50 steps away from me (yes, the both of us have counted those steps on numerous occasions). My roommate, Meredith, started hanging out with the guys and girls down the hall so I thought it would be a good idea to start meeting them too. We would all walk to the dining hall together for a much-needed brunch on the weekends, get Courtside Pizza on slice night and hangout with each other 24/7. One day I heard a knock on my door and as soon as I went to open it, I heard footsteps running away. It was odd to me but I didn’t think anything of it. A few days later, it happened again and right as I opened the door, I saw Spencer’s smirk almost turning the corner. From that day forward, knocking on the door then became our thing and whenever he did so, we both had the biggest, goofiest grins on our faces. After being flirtatious with each other for a while, Spencer finally built up the courage to ask me on a date, Union Street Diner! A few days after that, Spencer asked me to be his girlfriend. When he asked me, I had such a nervous but exciting feeling… just like the feeling when he asked me to marry him 4 ½ years later by our freshman year dorm. We are beyond excited to get married to one another and can’t wait to spend it with our favorite people!
