We first met in a quaint restaurant located in Williamsburg Virginia. It was a cold night but the energy from meeting one another for the first time warmed everything up. I (Spencer) was sitting talking to some buddies including one of my groomsman Devin Wynne when i saw this beautiful girl sitting talking to her friend. This was one of the only times in my life when i had the courage to actually approach a women i did not know. I went over and sat down and introduced myself. I got the feeling she didn't like me at first but look where we are now. I ( yana) actually liked him the first time we spoke. Later down the road we went on dates with some mutual friends, he was good looking, fit and super crazy ( he still is ). He left for a deployment to Afghanistan, we decided to continue talking. Over 9 months of talking almost everyday, discussing every topic imaginable, we both realized that we were meant for each other and that this wasn't like anything we had experienced before. We shared so many core values that we both based our life off of. So we decided to do what was right and get hitched. We owe a lot to our parents. They have provided and showed us first hand what a successful marriage looks like and what spencer and myself strive for. They were the best role models either of us could of asked for.
