Our Story
“I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”
— Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice

The Beginning
Tori spotted Kam from across the room at a dorm nail party at WWU and immediately thought, "There's no way that jock is here to paint nails, and there's definitely no way she'd want to be my friend."
She was wrong on both counts.
2012–2015
The "Just Friends" Years
Their friendship grew fast. Kam claimed Tori's dorm bed was 'the coziest' and started sleeping there. Tori made the drive out to Port Angeles to watch Kam play soccer after she transferred. When Tori studied abroad, they traded cat pictures by day and talked for hours by night, time zones be damned. You know, just friend things.

From friendship to more
After graduation, Kam kept finding herself at Tori's West Seattle apartment. Neither of them was out yet, but something had clearly shifted. In March, they came out to each other—and no one else. A month of butterflies, nerves, and 'what are we?' followed. Their friend Erika saw right through their hesitation. Then in the early hours of April 2nd, sitting in the backseat of Erika's car, she officially pronounced them girlfriends. And since she made them girlfriends, she'll be the one to make them wives as their officiant.

Under the Moon and Stars
A month later, under the night sky, Kam told Tori she loved her.
Tori laughed. And then, of course, said it back.
2016–2025
Building a Life
Two months after becoming official, they adopted Mika, a Siberian husky who has been running the household ever since. Those first few years were spent bouncing between houses full of roommates, saving money and dreaming about the future. Then in 2021, in the middle of a global pandemic, they bought a condo in Renton and made it their own. From a crowded house with six roommates to their own little place in Fairwood, they've built a life together. Summer camping trips with their best friends. Dancing the night away with their girls. And their favorite moments of all: morning coffee and Wordle on the couch, snuggled up with Mika.

The Proposal
Nine years to the day after becoming girlfriends, Kam took Tori to Alki Beach—where their love began—and got down on one knee.
She was too nervous to speak.
Tori asked, "Are you sure?"
Then: "Yes."
Then: "Wait, you have to actually ask me."
Kam finally managed: "Will you marry me?"
Tori said yes.

Forever
On the beaches of the Olympic Peninsula exactly ten years after that night in the backseat of Erika's car, Kam and Tori will stand before their favorite people and make their inevitable love official. We can't wait to celebrate with you.
