Though we wish we didn't need to admit it, we met in the most modern of ways... dating apps! Conversation was easy and after our slightly chaotic first date, we both knew there was something special between us. It was a deep connection that grew slowly, built on laughter, shared experiences, and the kind of conversations that last for hours.
Over time, we discovered how much we had in common—everything from our love of time with family and friends, our dogs, good food and local restaurants to traveling the world and time outdoors.
As our relationship blossomed, we found ourselves exploring new places, making new memories, and supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. Whether it was a weekend in Hot Springs, introducing Justin to Chicago winters, or the simple, quiet moments spent at home, each experience together only strengthened our bond.
The proposal was a moment we will never forget. Collierville Town Square became a place where we would meet for lunch and coffee while Justin was working for IMC and Tori had a day off. As Justin's hometown, it was the perfect spot for him to admit he stinks at speeches and then get down on one knee. She said yes! And then was surprised over and over again by family hiding around the corner and later with friends at his parents' for a bonfire. In the following months, we were both reminded of just how lucky we were to have found each other—and how excited we were to spend the rest of our lives together.
Now, as we prepare to say "I do," we are filled with gratitude for the love we've built, the journey ahead, and all of your support. We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you.
