Our Wedding

Chris and Spencer met the old-fashioned way—over frosting and flour. Back in 2019, they were both working in the bakery at Wegmans. What started as casual conversations over cookies and early morning shifts soon blossomed into a genuine friendship. Over time, they discovered how much they had in common—sharing the same sense of humor, core values, and a deep love for the arts. By 2020, they officially started dating, and the rest is sweet, sweet history. Through the highs and lows, their connection only grew stronger, built on mutual respect, laughter, and countless shared moments.&nbsp; In December 2024, Chris popped the question—and Spencer said yes! Now they’re counting down to May 30, 2026, when they’ll tie the knot at the gorgeous Winvian in Connecticut. They can’t wait to celebrate with the people they love most—and yes, there will be cake.
