How we met

5.30.19

We both swiped right and it was definitely a match! As online dating goes, we chatted back and forth for about two weeks. Finally, it was time for our first date. We met for dinner at Noble Crust and the spark was instant! We talked and laughed for hours; both of us were too nervous to eat. The night was going great and we didn't want it to end. The restaurant closed, so we talked in the parking lot for a few more hours. Unfortunately, we had to say goodnight. So we sealed the evening with a kiss and thus our adventure began!

The Proposal

9.14.20

We took a trip to my hometown, St. Augustine, for a long weekend. We had a great time and the weekend flew by. Unfortunately, Monday came and it was time to check out. Tory asked if we should walk down to the beach one more time. So we put our luggage in the car and walked down to the beach. It was a gorgeous day and the beach was perfect. I decided to take a few pictures when suddenly, Tory took my phone from my hand. Surprised, I looked around to see what was happening. When I turned to him, he was down on one knee, holding the ring. He asked, and of course, I said yes! It was a beautiful weekend!
