Owen proposed to Tory in a way that was as magical as their love story. And it is important to note that on the night of February 10th, 2024, everyone who knew Owen and Tory also knew what was going to happen…except for Tory.

After a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, Owen led her through the streets of Seattle, telling her we were heading to a bakery for some sweet treats. As we approached Pike Place Market, there was excitement building, but so did Tory’s curiosity. She playfully confronted me, questioning Owen about the lack of bakeries by the market and what his plan really was.

Just when the suspense reached its peak, I paused under the iconic Pike Place Market sign, the red lights surrounding us. The atmosphere buzzed with the lively energy of the market, despite us being the only two there…or so Tory thought. One of their good friends was ready with a camera to capture the moment. Owen got down on one knee, and…finally…after 7 years of dating, asked Tory for her hand in Marriage. After such a beautiful moment, Owen pointed to where the photo was being taken, and revealed to Tory the plan for this night which had been in the works for months.

The backdrop of our city, the warmth of the moment, and the thrill of the unexpected created an unforgettable spectacle. When she said yes, it felt like time stood still, as we were enveloped in a a core memory of love, laughter, and joy. And then the texts and calls of celebration flooded in…

It was a night we will cherish forever, marking the beginning of our incredible journey together.
