It all started with a simple message on Facebook. On August 27, 2024, Tory took a chance and slid into my inbox, telling me how beautiful I was and asking if I was single. I’ll admit, I didn’t respond right away — I made him wait a little! But when I finally replied and told him I was single, something just felt right. We exchanged numbers, and from that moment on, we haven’t stopped talking. Our first date was on September 21, 2024. We went to Choptank, walked around Fells Point, and ended the night with ice cream. It was easy, natural, and full of laughter — the kind of night you never want to end. From that day forward, we were inseparable. I knew he was the one because every time I was around him, I felt at peace. What started as a simple “hey” turned into something I never expected — a love built on laughter, loyalty, and a connection that truly feels like home. Now, as we get ready to say “I do” on October 3, 2026, I can’t help but smile thinking about how it all began — with one message that changed everything.
