Our Wedding

Our story begins the old-fashioned way—at work! We were both working at the Collaborative School when we crossed paths one day with Kayla subbing in the Middle School. After just a week, Spencer decided he couldn’t wait any longer to ask&nbsp;Kayla&nbsp;out. He looked for her after school, but she had already left for the day—so he took a modern approach and sent her a message on Facebook. Kayla&nbsp;planned to keep things quiet at first, just to see where things were going, but Spencer decided to bring Kayla on anything he could plan around their work schedules. So, he planned the second date for the Collaborative School staff holiday party (Smooth move, right?). Needless to say, once we showed up together, the secret didn’t last long, and admin were already asking about a future wedding. The world doesn't stand still for anyone, especially Kayla and Spencer, as a mere two weeks after they made their relationship official, the covid epidemic hit. There were some positives to the epidemic, such as plenty of time to talk, Kayla got to meet the extended friend group, and time to condition Spencer to having a very needy +1 to the relationship: a sweet brown Pitbull named Mya. With Mya quickly worming her way into Spencer's heart, Kayla took the opportunity to move out from home in Lisbon, to move into Westbrook to be closer to Spencer. While in Westbrook, Kayla and Spencer happened upon another sweet little soul, the quirky little black dog Nyx (we had spent way too long landing on a name for her). Once the covid epidemic had largely passed by, Spencer and Kayla decided it was time to move in together and landed on their current apartment in Auburn. Shortly after landing there, a little black cat Karma made herself known to Spencer, and a little convincing and some cute photos sold Kayla on adding a not-dog to the family. Spencer had (many) hints that Kayla was hoping for a ring to take some steps for their future, and Spencer began his plan. On her late brother Scott's birthday, Kayla, Spencer, and Kayla's sister Koreen and her Husband Tim travelled to Boston. The trip was to see Journey play live in Fenway Park, and it just happened to be Scott's favorite band. So, with everything aligned, Spencer casually asked to get a picture by the field, and surprised Kayla with ring and a promise for their future together. Back in Auburn, the plan that had been building with Spencer, Kayla, and the three animals saw an unfortunate turn with the passing of Mya. The little brown dog that helped bring everything and everyone together had always been a bit of a frequent flyer in the local vet, but she must've felt like she was leaving Kayla in good hands. With the Wedding looming, Spencer and Kayla are excited to bring everyone together once again! With checklists aplenty, the team of Kayla, Spencer, Nyx, Karma, and now Chloe, are looking forward to September 20th!
