How We Met
Mike’s Version
Mike and Tori met 2 days after Mike’s birthday on July 6, 2016 at a Worship night at their church. Mike almost left midway through the event, but felt like God was telling him to stay until the end… and He had a reason.

Tori saw Mike from across the room and pushed people out of the way to meet him. She almost sprained an ankle seeing that studly man and rushing over before he was gone.
Mike saw Tori and got lost in her big beautiful eyes.
Over the next several months, Mike fell in love with Tori’s sweet, loving and kind spirit. Mike was worried Tori might be scared away by his two boys, Landon and Levi (2 and 9 months at the time), but her true caring nature was evident in the way she poured into all three new guys in her life.
Fast forward 2 years, and Tori agreed to marry Mike during a candle lit dinner on the beach in Jamaica.
Tori’s Version
It was the night of July 6, 2016. Tori had decided to go to a worship service an hour away from her home. Little did she know, she would meet the love of her life that night. As worship ended, Tori caught sight of Mike and knew there was something special about him. She walked towards him, with her heart pounding and introduced herself. They locked eyes and instantly, sparks flew.
Shortly after, they went on their first date. They canoed down Town Lake at sunset and later gazed at the full moon and starry night, sharing stories of their life. It was perfect. Mike ended the night with a kiss on her forehead, something Tori will never forget.

As the months passed, Tori got to know Mike and his two amazing boys, Landon and Levi. They have been such a blessing in Tori’s life and Tori has learned so much from them. Tori always says they are little gifts from God and is so thankful for them.
During the summer of 2018, Mike took Tori on vacation to Jamaica. Tori will never forget the night of July 11th. Mike sang a song to her as they shared a candlelit dinner on the beach. They talked about how much they loved each other and shared their plans about their future together. The sound of the crashing waves and the smell of the warm ocean breeze made for the perfect night. After dessert, Mike asked Tori to dance with him beneath the stars. Mike told her he couldn’t picture his life without her and that is when he got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. Tori cried with excitement. Later, they danced beneath the moonlight near a romantic bonfire with music.
