For local couple Katy and Spencer, all it took for her to capture his heart were fresh baked pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and a dash of resilience.
“My roommate and best friend had a boyfriend, and I met Spencer through them. One night, my friend’s boyfriend came to our place and told us that Spencer was sitting out in the car, so I suggested that he should come in and say “hi.” Katy says. “He finally came inside and he was a little shy, but I had just baked some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and gave him some —as the old adage goes, they way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? He took the cookies and left shortly after that.”
Katy realized as soon as she laid eyes on Spencer that she had to get to know him.
“I can’t describe this very well, but when I saw and met Spencer, I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed him in my life. Whether we were just friends or even something more. I knew I needed him somehow,” she says. “A week later we went on our first date and we were inseparable ever since! A few months later, he did try to break up with me, but I put a stop to that. Then, two years into our relationship, he confessed that he didn’t even like the cookies I’d baked the first night we met and he ended up giving them to his buddies. My attempt to woo him with food failed, but I guess I did something right in the end —four years later, we were married.”
