love birds.
A fun little timeline of how this pair came to be:
end of June 2015: Spencer gives Emily a free {totally burnt} hotdog at local bike shop sidewalk sale. Spencer is pretty fliratious, but Emily is used to cyclist boys giving her the eyes. ;) Emily invites Spencer to event that night, and he actually shows up. Spence and Em go for an evening bike ride, in which Spence teaches her how to draft off of semi-trucks down University Ave. Emily is floored.. Friends tease Em that Spencer is completely infatuated, but she is not entirely impressed yet. {yet}
early July 2015: Spence and Em go on their first date at Sundance. While on ski lift to the top of the mountain, Emily wants to smooch Spence real bad, but contains herself. No smooching occurs. They enjoy a wonderful afternoon hiking Stewart Falls, taking a much less traditional route {a sign of things to come?}.
The rest of July 2015: They enjoy biking together and evening conversation. Spence offers to do many, many things to woo Em. Spence likes Em...a whole lot. Em is flattered. But she is going on a mission. Sad day. She likes Spence, too.
lots of time passess.........
January 2017: Em sees Spence at local bike shop. They haven't seen eachother in a while. Em has returned from LDS Mission in Texas, and recognizes Spence. He doesn't seem to recognize her. Funny, she thinks.
February 2017: Spence and Em attend a fun team cycling camp in St George together. Spence is way out there, and Em finds it pretty cute. While on a bike ride on her 24th birthday, Spence saves Em from a bike crash. She's pretty grateful.
Em goes back to local bike shop, and sees Spencer's coworkers. They talk for a while. Spence shows up on his scooter, and offers to take Em on ride. She declines, and Spence leaves. His co-workers enthusiatically try to set Em and Spence up. They say he needs a girl to "mellow him out". Em's probably not the girl for that, but she agrees she'd like to go on a date.
Later that week, while Em is on a bike ride to Spanish Fork, Spencer just happens to zoom past on his way to a church function in Springville. He slows up, and tries to convince Em to come with him. She declines, and after some breathless conversation, Spence heads on his way. She instantly regrets it, and messages him on facebook for the address, but he doesn't answer. She is sad, and heads home.
Later that night, Spencer responds to her message, and enthusiastically tries to convince her to let him make her dinner. It was late, so she rainchecks. He officially asks her to dinner while biking down the Murdock Canal on a group ride later that month.
March 2017: Spencer and Emily go on their 2nd first date. He makes a dinner of chicken parmesan and brussel sprouts. He keeps calling it asparagus, and she thinks it's funny, but doesn't correct him. They talk and talk, and Em is pretty twipterpated. She wants to smooch Spence real bad, so this time she does. Best first kiss ever!
A whirl-wind romance then pursues--filled with biking and hiking, camping and laughing, way too much food, and countless road trips. Spence teaches Em how to mountain bike, and Em teaches Spence how to trail run. He hems her clothes and makes her meals, and all the while, she falls head over heels in love.
5 months later, they both agree they can't stand to be apart. So, they're getting married on October 7th, in the San Diego LDS Temple.
