Our Story

It all started back in August of 2013 at Gillette Stadium, thanks to the popular end of summer concert known as Country Fest and our good friends who put us there at the same time! We didn't chat too much at first as we were both shy. Yes, shy... if you can believe it! After our shyness faded away we found ourselves dancing together all night! We both never forgot that night. We talked for months until one evening we finally got back together at a park where we walked around and talked for hours. It may have taken another year to make it official but from that night, we never looked back! Fast forward and we're now onto forever! We were vacationing in California when we became engaged! We were staying in Muir Beach and decided to explore and drive up the coast. We ended up at Point Reyes as we were eager to check out a beautiful lighthouse on the cliffs. Only to get there and that beautiful lighthouse was not only hidden beneath the clouds but under construction as well! When driving back we took a random turn in search for a beach called Beach South that we saw posted on a nearby street sign. Let me tell you, that random turn was the best detour ever! Pulling up to the beach was truly breathtaking. Although only minutes from the lighthouse, the beach was so full of sunshine, clear and private with not another soul on the beach for as far as we could see. We walked the beach and decided to take a couple of pictures with our blue-tooth tripod. Tore set it up and as we were getting ready he paused and said, "Let me get one more thing." I remember saying, "What are you getting, what are you doing?" He pulls out a box and then opens that to a smaller box. I think my heart stopped. He got down on one knee and asked, "Will you make me the happiest man in the world?" I was in the happiest state of shock imaginable. Minutes later with his big smile that I adore so much he said, "So, you never answered." YES. Obviously, yes! July 19, 2018 will always be one to remember!
