Tori & Ryan’s story started back in 2018, when Tori told her best friend—who’s now her maid of honor—that she had a crush on one of her cute friends. She loves to remind them that she made it all happen, and they are forever grateful that she did.

After weeks of talking nonstop, they finally had their first date at the Clay County Fair, and from that night on, they’ve pretty much been inseparable. What started as a high school crush quickly turned into something real and lasting. From fishing trips and rodeos to quiet nights in and early morning turkey hunts, they’re relationship has always been full of laughter, love, and a shared sense of adventure. They’ve built a life around the little things—just being together and enjoying each moment.

In 2021, Tori & Ryan moved into their first apartment, and by 2023, they bought their first home. It's been filled with love—and a bit of chaos—thanks to their amazing (and always entertaining) animals. The house has truly become their safe space, their place to unwind, and where they’ve built a life that feels like home.

Over the years, Tori & Ryan have made so many beautiful memories together while traveling, but one place holds a little extra meaning. On their five-year anniversary, they found this quiet, peaceful spot by the water that felt special right away. They didn’t realize at the time just how important it would become. The following January, they went back for Tori’s birthday—and as the sun set, Ryan asked her to marry him.

What makes their story so special is that even though they are different in so many ways, they fit together effortlessly. Together, they’ve created something strong, playful, and deeply loving. They never take themselves too seriously, and always find a way to make each other laugh—even on the hard days.

After seven years of growing up and growing together, they are so ready to step into this next chapter. They’ve had a long time to dream about this day, and it means the world to them to share it with the people who have supported their journey and loved them through it all.
