I'll never forget the first day Quinten walked into my life - I was 19 working at Ace Hardware while attending University of Houston in 2016. It was busy season, right before the holidays so there were a lot of people coming and going. I noticed Quinten as soon as he walked through the door and my heart skipped a beat when he b-lined for me. Apparently, it was his first day on the job and he wasn't actually coming up to me...but a girl can dream, right? - Tori Turns out, moving to Texas has a LOT of perks. I had been down here for only a few weeks, apply to every job I could and accepted the first job that called me back. It was my first day and I was just planning to do my job, cash a paycheck and live life. Turns out, God had other plans. FIRST DAY I meet the most beautiful girl in the world. I had to play it cool because it's work - but when she sat across that break room table and introduced herself, I couldn't help but think - this girl is something special. -Quinten
Quinten and Tori’s journey began in 2016, shortly after Q moved to the great state of Texas. From the start, there was an undeniable connection, strengthened by their shared love for great food, late-night conversations, and plenty of laughter. Life took them in different directions in 2019, and then—like the rest of the world—they hit pause for a while. But through growth, perspective, and maybe a little fate, they found their way back to each other in 2021, picking up right where they left off. Looking back, they both agree that the time apart only made them appreciate each other more and strengthened the foundation of their relationship. Since then, they’ve been inseparable—laughing through reality TV marathons, singing at the top of their lungs in the car, cooking up new recipes together, and enjoying golf (well, Q plays while Tori enjoys the ride and carefully selects her par 3s). They also brought home their two beloved dogs, Octavia and Khaleesi, who have been their loyal companions ever since. More than anything, they cherish the simple moments, from Sunday mornings at church to spontaneous kitchen dance parties. Their love story is one of second chances, faith, and endless fun—and they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!
