Our Wedding

Cady and Spencer first crossed paths on the very first night of college. Spencer was sitting outside his dorm building relishing his newfound freedom, while Cady was on her way back from her first Fairfield party, which had not lived up to expectations. Spencer convinced her to sit down for a while, and they hit it off… until they did not. Depending on who you ask, you will hear different versions of that night. Cady thought Spencer was a bit of a playboy, and Spencer thought Cady was looking for a little too much commitment for the first night of freshman year. Either way, they went their separate ways and did not speak again for two years. Fast forward to junior year. Both had moved back to Fairfield early for the semester. Spencer decided to throw a party at his townhouse, and one of Cady’s friends convinced her to go, despite her hesitation. The moment she walked in, Spencer could not believe his eyes. He immediately went up to her, apologized for whatever he had said that first night, and just like that they hit it off again. This time, as the Bills preseason game played in the background, they bonded over their shared love for the team. Only this time, “until they did not” never came. Somehow Spencer convinced Cady to go on a date the next week, and he even guessed her favorite restaurant in Fairfield, Wild Rice (RIP). He wanted her to know he was serious, so he laid all his cards on the table, sharing his funniest and most embarrassing stories. Much to his surprise, she agreed to a second date. From there, things moved quickly. By New Year’s, Spencer had brought Cady home to meet his family and confessed he had fallen in love with her in the freezing cold of his parents’ garage. Shortly after, they officially started dating. When Cady studied abroad in Florence that spring, they FaceTimed every single day, and Spencer even flew to Italy to see her, where they traveled together to Geneva, Switzerland. Making it through those months apart proved just how special their relationship was. Senior year was a blur of beach days and fun, until the world suddenly changed. While floating around a pool in West Palm Beach on spring break, news hit that COVID had shut everything down. Despite the uncertainty, they supported each other as they searched for jobs and eventually moved in together in Stamford, CT in August 2020. Those early months in their first little apartment, filled with takeout, board games, and countless rounds of Super Mario Bros., ended up becoming some of their most meaningful memories. The years since have been full of adventures, new friends, trips to places they never thought they would see, and plenty of ups and downs courtesy of the Buffalo Bills. They built a life together in Stamford, where they still live today with their cat, Luna, exploring new restaurants and traveling whenever they can. One trip in particular stands out: Denver, August 2024. To Cady, it was just a fun weekend with Margot and Isaiah. To Spencer, it was the moment he had been waiting for. The plan almost fell apart when Cady’s sneakers were stolen off the Airbnb porch and a wildfire closed the road to his planned proposal spot. But with some last-minute help from the University of Denver Ultimate Frisbee team, they found Chief Mountain. After a long hike and a few shoe switches, Spencer finally worked up the courage to propose. Given you are reading this now, you know she said YES! After seven wonderful years, Cady and Spencer know each day together is a gift. They cannot wait to make it official for life and celebrate with all of you in just a few short months.

Q + A

We’re going for a semi formal vibe that feels polished yet comfortable enough to dance the night away.The ceremony will, fingers crossed, be held outdoors on the grass, so please keep that in mind when choosing your shoes.For the ladies, cocktail, midi, or long dresses are all great options.For the guys, a suit and tie or a blazer paired with dress pants will look perfect.
