Ron and Tori met in 2021 while they were both living in San Diego, CA. They had their first date at True Food Kitchen in November and they had endless conversations until the restaurant closed. Ron and Tori continued seeing each other over the next month until Tori popped the, "So what are we?" question.

On December 4, 2021, Ron made it official. They were both beyond excited to get to know each other more deeply and grow their connection.

In February 2022, Tori had a lumbar spine fusion. Ron was a trooper and endured the recovery process with Tori. Ron and Tori's sister both helped care for her and most importantly, pushed her around Disneyland in her wheelchair. Through association, Ron became a Disney adult whether he wanted to or not.

Ron and Tori moved in together in September 2022. This came with adjustments as their family combined and became a family of 7: Ron, Tori, Taylor (Tori's sister), and 4 pups.

In July of 2023, Ron & Tori went to visit some friends in Raleigh, NC and they absolutely fell in love with the city. During their trip, they decided to tour new construction homes to see what was available. In the fall of 2023, they decided to take the leap and went under contract for their first home.

Ron & Tori made the cross-country drive from San Diego, CA to Raleigh, NC in February 2024. They both drove separate cars, and had their fur babies in each. Although the drive was long, it was worth it when they got the keys to their new home on February 22, 2024.

In September 2024, Ron & Tori took a trip to the happiest place on earth (Disneyworld). Ron made Tori feel like a Disney princess, and proposed to her in front of Cinderella's castle. They are both beyond excited to begin their happily ever after.
