2016. Pearl River, NY. You know the story. Dumb boy talks to nice girl, they don’t talk for two years. 2018. Dennis slides in those DM’s and takes Tori on their first date. From there it was a done deal, with rendezvous from Philadelphia to Santa Fe while Tori was on tour. They laughed and loved and then with the end of the world in 2020 they moved in together, And now , 6 years later they are getting married. They is us. Welcome to our website.

You can make plans, but Mother Nature don’t care. What began as a plan to take Tori back to the location of their first date for a cute date before Dennis went away for work turned into a chilly adventure. It was a cold and blustery day. It was literally 20 degrees outside, after a blizzard. BUT Dennis decided the deed was to happen that day anyways. They made the frozen trek from Rutherford to Nyack. The day began at one of their favorite coffee and donut spots, and continued on to the record store. There wasn’t much else to do on such a cold day so Dennis suggested that it was probably a good time to go for a walk along the bank of the Hudson. Despite a chorus of Tori’s protests over the weather, they continued their journey towards the water. They never made it. As they walked along the snowy, tree lined path that lead to the bank Dennis stopped to tie his Definitely Loose Double Knotted Hiking Boots. As Tori turned around to remind him how much she absolutely loved the 20 degree temperature Dennis asked THE Question. Then, as Dennis put it, Tori looked like a computer that had shutdown, restarted and came back to life. There were tears, laughing, questions, screaming, obvious sassy comments from Tori and then after about 15 minutes, Dennis said SO IS THAT A YES!? Yes. Yes it was. The snowy walk back to the car was not so cold after that :)
