In February 2017, our mutual friends Tim and Katie Jane started a beginner swing dancing class. Greg signed up for the class but didn't have a dance partner. Katie Jane texted Torrie the day of the first class asking if she wanted to come. Torrie was having dinner with her cousin five minutes away and decided to come. Greg and Torrie were one of three couples at the class, the only two that had never met each other (and weren't married.) They laughed their way through it. Greg asked for Torrie's phone number that night, and asked her out on a date the next week when their class was canceled.

Greg and Torrie were in Mexico on vacation in April. On the last night of the vacation, Greg surprised Torrie with a romantic couple's dinner on the beach with a private waiter, named Clemente. Greg asked Clemente to take "muchas fotos" and then started his prepared speech for the proposal. Torrie started to realize what was happening. As Greg was talking to Torrie and they were looking at one another, Clemente started saying "smile!" "look at the camera!" not knowing why they were not posing for the picture. Greg realized he better speed things up and did the abridged version of his speech, got on one knee and proposed. Clemente managed to take great pictures of the moment and kicked it into high gear once he realized what was happening.
