Sydney and Spencer first met each other while working at Giant Eagle in 2017. While on a hike with some friends, Sydney learned that “Spencer, the guy in produce” was interested in talking. Numbers were exchanged and a first date was planned, but not without learning some surprising details. A few days before their first date, Spencer had mentioned that he had something he wanted to share but Sydney already had a guess at what he was going to say. While sharing with our parents who we were talking to, we had learned of the personal connections that our families shared. For 40 years, our families had known each other and shared many memories before we even knew the other existed! So, you could sense the excitement (and slight awkwardness) when Spencer picked Sydney up for their first date and Sydney’s mom mentioned how at one point “we shared a crib”. Without ever realizing it, they had been connected their whole lives before meeting one another. Now, over the past seven years, their love for one another has only grown stronger.
