S Ashlyn & Spencer Perryman December 17, 2017
pencer says he will always remember the day we met. Not because it was love at first sight or that there was even an immediate connection. It is because I was wearing sweatpants — baggy, mundane, comfortable sweatpants. This detail is what stood out to him the most about me that night.
He told me years later it was because he could tell how genuine I was, based solely on such a small detail. I told him I was not trying to impress anyone; he says I failed miserably. Spencer liked me long before I reciprocated - three years to be exact. Throughout those years, he showed me his persistence and character through close friendship, showing me that I could feel safe and vulnerable with him. The joke was that he was the “King of the FriendZone”, but he notes that no king rules forever.
11 N W A W E D D I N G I D E A S
After two years of dating he proposed to me at my childhood happy place, a pond near the home where I grew up. Our engagement was just shy of ten months and full of wedding planning on top of my graduate school program. This new phase of our relationship was chaotic, but we were always able to find solace in each other.
Our wedding was December 17, 2017 at the beautiful Ravington surrounded by our incredible family and friends. That cloudy night was illuminated by traditional Christmas lights that hung all around as we said I do. Our first kiss was even under the mistletoe Spencer’s best man, and twin brother, hovered over our heads.
Fast forward one year into marriage, and Spencer works at a high school in special education, and I work as a therapist at a hospital. I am forever grateful for my life-long partner who loves and serves both me and our community so well. The desire for our marriage is to share the love, joy, and hope that we experience with each other to everyone around us.
