It all started in a gym.

Kyle saw Tori playing in a basketball game, and in that very second, he just knew — she was different. Something about the way she moved, competed, and carried herself made it feel like more than just a moment. It felt like fate.

Not long after, the world slowed down during COVID — and so did everything around us. What could have been distance instead became the foundation of our relationship. We spent that time truly getting to know each other — long talks, laughs, dreams about the future, and building something real when the rest of the world felt uncertain.

When Tori made the decision to leave her small hometown and move to Utica, NY, it wasn’t easy. Leaving behind everything familiar — family, friends, the comfort of home — was one of the hardest things she had ever done. It took courage, faith, and a whole lot of heart. But Kyle made it easier every step of the way. From the very beginning, he showed up — consistently, fully, and without hesitation. From that point on, he stayed with her every single night, turning what could have felt unfamiliar into a place that felt like home.

What started as young love quickly became a partnership. We weren’t just dating — we were building a life.

In 2023, we made one of our biggest dreams come true and bought our first home. It was more than just a house — it was the start of our forever. Soon after, we got our first Frenchie, Jax, who instantly filled our world with more love than we knew was possible. About a year later, our second Frenchie, Louie, completed our little team. Watching our dogs grow together has been the greatest.

Sports have always been part of our story — from the very beginning. We both love staying active, playing sports, competing, and cheering each other on. We love spending time with our friends, keeping busy, chasing goals — but just as much, we cherish the quiet moments soaking up each other’s company at home with our boys.

From a glance across a basketball court to building a home filled with love and laughter, every step has led us here. And we can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter — forever — surrounded by the people we love most.
