Many people may not know, but the couple met on the dating app Hinge, in 2021. After about a week or so, they had their first date at Malo in Downtown Des Moines, and what comes after dinner might be the best part!

After dinner, they went to Spencer's to watch a movie. During medical school, Spencer lived at home but he assured Sydney that if they watched a movie there, they most likely wouldn't see anyone. The key word is most likely because as soon as they entered and headed towards the stairs, his parents, Brian and Julie, came over and introduced themselves, and the rest is history!

After a year and a half of dating, Spencer proposed on April 22, 2023! On maybe one of the coldest days in April, they went to Ledges State Park in Boone, Iowa. The last trail they went on was the Lost Lake trail that went along the Des Moines River and looped around the lake. It was at the lake when Spencer said he had a headache and asked for his ibuprofen from the backpack. It was perfect because Sydney also had a headache. Sydney grabbed the bottle, opened it, and turned it upside down, but to her surprise, a ring came out, and Spencer was on one knee! It was the easiest and quickest yes of Sydney's life!! Here's to forever!
