Our story began many moons ago in a far and distant land known as Germany. Tori and I quickly gained life-long friends in our high school German exchange partners, Lena and Marcel. The only problem was that Tori also took a liking to Marcel, and before we knew it we were at odds over this sweet, innocent German boy's attention. Jealousy, pettiness and teenage angst were a few of the many reasons friendship between us became an impossible feat. Tale as old as time... It took nearly 15 years for the wounds of high school hatred to completely heal. It was on June 26th, 2021, the day after Tori's birthday, when I decided to message her on Facebook and wish her a happy belated. Small conversation and catching up on the last 15 years quickly turned into a few dates and her coming over and helping me with house projects. I remember telling one of our best friends Molly, that after two weeks of dating Tori, I knew she was the one. Over the next two years we traveled to Nashville with our best friends Phil and Lea, visited Colorado for a ski-weekend with Andrew's family and vacationed together in the Caribbean. To cap it all off, this past October we spent two-weeks adventuring through Europe, where we GOT ENGAGED at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland! Travel and experiences have always been high on our priority list. So for our wedding we wanted to share that with all of our closest friends and family. We can't wait to celebrate with everyone in the Keys and enjoy the coming together of two families! See you in October!
