About Couple

"Spencer and I met through his brother about 6 or so years ago, who I happened to be best friends with at the time. Unfortunately we lost contact with his brother due to the fact that we had feelings grow from our friendship and Spencer's brother had a lot to say about it. We hid our relationship from everyone for a while before deciding that we would no longer deny ourselves the happiness of being together. We have had such a chemistry ever since we first met. Our witty remarks and playful banter brought us close as soon as we got to know one another better. Spencer eventually started working at Ruby Tuesday with me which also brought us closer. He got an opportunity to move out to Kansas working for FedEx and I was almost sure I had lost the chance to ever truly pursue him. But in less than a year, the universe brought him back to me. After writing about him in my journal and accepting my feelings, I got word he was moving back. He came back to work with me again, I confessed my feelings, he returned them. It's pretty much been us ever since, minus the gritty details about fighting with his brother about us being together. No stress though, he will not be at our wedding as he has moved out of state thankfully!"
