Our Wedding

Max and Tori met their freshman year of college at Grand Valley State University! They stayed friends throughout college until their senior year. Max finally asked Tori out for a date and took her to  Maru Sushi, that they love to still frequent. In April, 2019 Max asked Tori to be his girlfriend over lobster rolls and an ice cold Oberon. Every year on their anniversary they make sure to enjoy a lobster roll together to celebrate! Tori spent the first year after college in Nashville and then decided to move up to the Mitten with Max. Max and Tori purchased a home in Royal Oak Michigan where they both live with their sweet pup, Palmer!
