It all began on a ship.

Tory's red dress caught Frank's eye, but he had already caught her eye as well. He remembered seeing her a few other times on The Tall Ship in East Boston, but the two hadn't yet connected, until this night in the summer of 2022.

From there, it didn't take long before Tory & Frank were joined souls, with Leo eagerly welcoming Frank into his new home. Tory & Frank joined into one home by the holidays, continuing to grow through each new day and shared experiences.

Through a variety of travels, life changes, and return visits to The Tall Ship, their partnership only solidified further as not only partners, but best friends.

In August of 2023, to celebrate Tory's birthday, she found herself on another ship - one that would become just as important as the one that brought them together. And so, in Lake George, NY, on 8/17/23, Tory & Frank engaged to be married.

Thank you to all of our friends and family who have played important roles in this story. We could not be more excited to celebrate our love with all of you in September 2024.
