The couple met at The Coop in Conway, South Carolina where Gordon worked as a bouncer. Tori didn't know this at the time they met, but it turns out they had mutual friends. Tori knew from the night she met Gordon that he would be a great friend but never did she imagine they'd be here over 5 years later. Their close friendship lasted about 2 years before, from what Gordon would tell you, Tori finally gave in, and our relationship truly blossomed.

The couple went on a post graduation vacation to Cancun, Mexico in May 2023. On their second day at the resort Gordon had made a dinner reservation for them at one of the restaurants on the resort. Or so Tori thought... Around reservation time, a very nice employee showed up at the door with a rose for Tori and escorted them down to the beach were there was a private cabana set up for their special dinner alongside rose petals, music, and champagne! While Tori was already surprised at the gesture, this was a very Gordon thing to do, so she honestly didn't think too much into it. Together, they had a plan for the week to take pictures by setting up the phone on a tripod, start a video, pose, and screenshot stills from the video. Of course Tori wanted to capture this moment so they set up the phone and started posing for pictures. Next thing she knows, Gordon is down on one knee with a gorgeous ring in his hand asking me the most perfect question in the most perfect setting! Followed by a delicious dinner and drinks, they couldn't have asked for a better night.
