In the brisk December of 2019, Tori stepped into a new role at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the heart of NYC. Fresh to the city's bustling streets, she was eager to dive into the endless adventures the Big Apple promised. Meanwhile, Dylan was determined to make the most of the upcoming year by fulfilling his resolution—embracing new experiences and venturing out on more dates. Barely a week into the unfolding New Year, destiny intervened on January 4, 2020, as their paths converged through the connection of mutual friends, Danny and Mary Smiles. As fate would have it, just a couple of months later, the world found itself engulfed in the throes of a pandemic, leading to widespread lockdowns due to COVID-19. During this unexpected pause, they found solace in each other's company, spending countless hours together when other activities came to a standstill. Over those months, their stories melded into one as they discovered their core values, backgrounds, dreams, and desires. It was around June of 2020, about six months since their initial meeting, that they decided to commit to the journey of building a shared future. Less than a year later, Tori bid farewell to her cozy 3-bedroom apartment, previously occupied by three roommates and adorned with just two windows. She crossed the Hudson, moving to Union City, NJ, to begin a new chapter in life alongside Dylan and their furry companion, Luna. Almost three years to the day since their fortuitous meeting on January 7, 2023, Dylan knelt down on bended knee in Riverhead, NY, to propose to Tori. The next chapter of their shared story is set to commence on May 19, 2024, a day that will symbolize not only the union of two souls but the start of an extraordinary journey as they embrace life's adventures together.
