Our Wedding

There's an old homage many are likely very familiar with: Love will find you when you least expect it. This could not be more true for us. Like all good millennials, we met online (Hinge, feel free to sponsor us whenever you're ready!). It was Lindsey's umpteenth online date and Torrance's very first (that lucky guy). Though we're not sure either of us were exactly expecting to find our soul mates on a Tuesday night at Coopers Hawk, we had a truly perfect first date. We still laugh about how during our wine tasting. each of us separately confided in our server while the other left for the restroom letting her know just how great it was going (shoutout to Stephanie)! To go from giggling to talking about the importance of our relationships to God, we connected in a truly wonderful way building a foundation to continue to grow upon. Fast forward through tons of adventures and quiet calm alike, it was a beautiful year. It was a year full of hikes, car singing, TV bingeing, meeting each other's families and friends, trips big and small, and lots of driving between Cincinnati and Dayton, all while we kept looking at each other saying, “How is it possible for this to be so great?” All of this culminated to a trip we will never forget: Ireland 2025. Lindsey had truly fallen for the red heron of a cross country road trip later in the summer where she was so entirely sure the proposal would happen (plot twist: it was a fake trip). Little did she know that Torrance was plotting with her longtime best friend (We love you, Molly AKA M. Shiesty!) to make the most special proposal on the Cliffs of Moher. So on that unseasonably warm and sunny day (all the locals continued to reiterate weather like that has never happened), Torrance got down on one knee and asked the easiest question Lindsey had ever heard. We are endlessly grateful to have finally found each other and to know a love like this. We cannot wait to celebrate with our friends and family who have supported us both separately and together in April 2026 and to continue to build our life and family together in East Cincinnati. Enjoy a little snippet of our engagement and check out the Photos section of our website to see just a few highlights of our time together so far. We hope you enjoy!

Our Story

Photos

"Lindsey and I grew up as friends, when she moved into my neighborhood we quickly became best friends! My family and I took her to her first Jonas Brothers concert at no other than the great Kentucky Speedway. We've had silly times and serious times together. We've lived so much life together and done it side by side through the high and the lows. I'm so thankful to experience this next chapter standing by her side."

”I met Lindsey three years ago at the University of Dayton and we quickly became fast friends. From office shenanigans, endless laughter, and a friendship I truly treasure, Lindsey has become my confidant, cheerleader, and honorary work wife (emphasis on the wife part—we’ve basically shared custody of each other’s coffee orders). Lindsey brightens the lives of all she touches, and I feel so lucky to stand beside her and Torrance as they start this exciting new chapter.”
