It all started with a ride in a van to a gig… Tory had tagged along to help a friend take pictures at a music show, not knowing that moment would quietly change her life. She found herself sitting next to a quiet guy named Colby, who had a Rubik’s Cube in his hands and a gentle smile in his eyes. As they rode together, Colby twisted and turned the cube until it showed a daisy on all four sides. He looked at her and said, “This is the first flower I’ll ever give you.” Neither of them knew then how much that simple moment would mean. But somehow, in that van, a quiet kind of magic began to bloom. Over the next four years, they built something real—full of love, laughter, and shared moments. Whether it was fishing trips, weekend projects, or just spending time side by side, they found joy in the little things and strength in doing life together.

One evening, at Chicot, out on the water as the sun dipped low, they were counting the day’s catch. Colby asked, “How many fish did we get?” Tory replied, “Sixteen.” He smiled, pulled out a ring, and said, “You forgot the best one.” And just like that, the next chapter of their love story began. Now, they’re ready to say “I do”—with hearts full of love and a life full of adventure ahead.
