When a California girl moves to Utah...

Our first date was at Quarters Arcade Bar in downtown Salt Lake. Cheap arcade games, good chemistry, and great banter—we just clicked, falling into step alongside one another almost instantly. The conversation started on July 29, 2022, and it never stopped. Showing up to that date was the best. decision. ever.

On September 18, 2022, we made it "official". We promised to be honest, kind, and loyal to one another. We haven't looked back since.

Nine months later (gasp!), we got our fur baby, Lilo. She was a seven-week-old golden retriever weighing only 10 pounds (now she’s a healthy 75 pounds!). Even though we'd only been dating for nine months, adopting her was the second-best decision we'd made as a couple.

Six months after bringing Lilo home, we moved into our own place. We’ve lived in a beautiful apartment in West Jordan, Utah, since September 2023. Life together has been a dream come true.

On October 2, 2025, after more than three years of dating, Spencer proposed. It was intimate, private, and everything we could have wanted for such a core memory. With Utah's vibrant fall colors, obviously, she said yes!

We are getting married in front of the beautiful Teton Mountains, just outside of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Spencer's grandma has gracefully lent us her family home to celebrate our love. We would love to have our closest family and friends join us for our special day.

How lucky are we?
