It all started thanks to a little matchmaking magic from Riley’s cousin, Theodosia. She had a feeling we’d be a great match—and as it turns out, she was absolutely right. For our very first date, we went cliff jumping (yes, really!) and capped it off with milkshakes, which pretty much set the tone for our relationship: a little adventurous, a little sweet, and totally unforgettable.

From there, we dove into a two-year long-distance journey filled with countless FaceTime calls, surprise visits, and more patience, love, and growth than we ever imagined. Even across the miles, we found ways to stay close—and when we finally closed that distance, it felt like coming home.

We both graduated from the University at Buffalo, and over the years we’ve built a life full of shared passions and inside jokes. Whether we're playing golf or mini golf (depending on the vibe), battling it out over a chessboard, or Riley trying to teach Torrie how to “ski” (we’re still not sure who’s winning that one), we’ve always made time to have fun and keep learning together.

Our biggest adventure yet? Adopting our dog, Clyde, who quickly became the center of our world and the best good boy ever.

Now, we’re taking the next leap—no cliffs involved this time—and saying “I do.” We can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter with all the people we love most.
