Blonde Frosted Tips & Snooki Poofs

One early spring afternoon, after many failed first dates and swipes, Spencer came across a Hinge profile that immediately caught his eye. Between her beautiful pictures and hysterical responses to her selected Hinge prompts, Spencer decided to respond to his favorite prompt- "What trend are you most embarrassed of participating in" to which Mallory had responded "Rocking a Snooki poof throughout high school." His response of admitting to having frosted tips in elementary and middle school immediately brought these two together and soon after the initial message began talking nearly all day every day. As Spencer was living on Long Island and Mallory was living in Hoboken, NJ (or "Hot Hoboken" as we liked to call it- thank you Papa Storch), the two decided to meet up at a bar near Mallory's office in midtown Manhattan. With the first date consisting of beers and truffle fries with garlic aioli, neither of the two wanted the night to end and both went home excited at the prospect of finding each other's soulmate. After many dates in the city and Hoboken, meeting each other's friends and family, the two finally became "official" and became inseparable. Mallory would come visit Spencer and his roommate Jordan at their apartment in Long Beach, NY almost every weekend, spending beautiful summer days on the beach and nights filled with music and dancing out at the bars on Beech Street. With endless laughter, adventures and constant love, the couple grew closer together and knew they were in it for the long haul. Ultimately, Mallory decided that once her lease in Hoboken ended, she would move out to Long Beach so she could be closer to Spencer as their relationship grew. In March of 2020, while in between apartments, Mallory had asked Spencer and Jordan if she could work from their apartment while her company went on WFH for "just a few weeks" due to COVID. Little did they know, the three of them would end up quarantining for 3 months in the tiny apartment before the three of them ended up moving into their big blue house just 2 blocks away. While some couples may have cringed at the thought of spending every waking moment together, Mallory and Spencer were so excited to finally have extended quality time without having to leave one another. With their relationship continuing to grow and flourish over time, Spencer knew that in the summer of 2021, he wanted to ask Mallory to spend forever with him. After weeks of panicking and pacing while watching the weather report to make sure everything would be perfect, Spencer and Mallory took a walk onto their neighborhood beach and with the help of some very special friends, Spencer proposed to Mallory to which she responded with tears in her eyes "F yes- you really think I'd say no?!" The couple are so excited to finally say I do in September 2023 and continue to fill their lives with love, laughter, music and of course cutting up the dance floor.
