Tori and Ben are so excited to celebrate with all of you in a place that means the world to them. What began as Tori sharing family trips to Maine and Ben spending his childhood summers there with his family has grown into something even more special - a place they’ve returned to together time and time again. Maine is as warm and welcoming as it is beautiful, and they couldn’t imagine a better backdrop to begin this next chapter. They feel so lucky to share it - and this moment - with the people they love most.

Tori and Ben were set up thanks to a bit of matchmaking magic at Steph and Jake’s wedding in March 2023, where Tori met Jordan. After a quick conversation, Jordan insisted: You have to meet my friend Ben. Tori assumed Ben was at the wedding - he wasn’t. He was in Philadelphia (go birds!), where he lived at the time. So Jordan did the next best thing and dropped them both into a group chat. Despite the distance, the chemistry was instant. Over the next six weeks, Tori and Ben exchanged message after message - paragraphs, really - and finally decided it was time to meet in person. Their first date was at The Wayland in NYC’s East Village, a cozy bar they’d both coincidentally loved while living just two blocks from each other in Alphabet City years before (without ever crossing paths). The date somehow exceeded their already-high expectations. They knew immediately they wanted to see each other again. Since they lived in different cities (Tori in Cincinnati, Ben in Philly), they embraced their shared love of travel - and Ben’s love of travel planning. Their second date was a weekend in Charleston. Then back to New York for the third. For date four, they leaned into adventure with an overnight hike from Aspen to Crested Butte. Date five? Apartment hunting in Brooklyn, where they found Tori’s future place in Williamsburg. By date six, they were in Spain - and in love. Since then, they’ve traveled the world, obsessed over coffee, trained for a marathon together, learned to ski, moved to Philly, and spent time with the people who matter most. Their greatest adventure begins September 6.
