We're Getting Married!

Mason and Tori both grew up in the small town of Pendleton, Indiana. They attended the same middle and high school, just two grades apart, and often found themselves in the same friend groups—though they rarely interacted. Mason graduated and went on to Ball State University, while Tori, still in high school, would occasionally visit campus and even attend parties at the house where Mason lived. Even then, they didn’t speak much—but looking back, there was always a quiet spark. In 2017, Tori began college at Indiana University, and two years later, Mason graduated from Ball State and moved to Chicago. Fast forward to 2021: Tori graduated from IU and started grad school in Indianapolis, and Mason moved back home to Pendleton that very same year. Just days before he returned, Tori reached out to him on Snapchat. On Mason’s first day back, the two met up with friends—and from that night on, everything changed. They quickly became inseparable. Nearly two years later, on April 18, 2024, Mason proposed to Tori in the first home they bought together.
