Tori &

Sheldon

Big Bear, California

It all started when…

Tori and Sheldon met through a medical rotation, his last day and her first day. He was a 4th-year medical student finishing up an orthopedic rotation while she was an inspiring med student shadowing the physician. Sheldon spent the day trying to impress her with his medical knowledge but then got too nervous to give her his cell phone number or ask for hers. Instead, he gave her his email address. He quickly realized after leaving the clinic that day that he would probably never hear from her again. Who gives an email address to the girl they are interested in after all? As with most couples these days, finding her on social media was his only option to properly ask her out. Luckily, after some searching, he was able to find her Facebook. He wrote her a cool Facebook message asking for her phone number and that he would love to take her out sometime, hoping she would see it and respond.

 
 

Luckily, Tori did respond and they had their first date 1 week later at a hip Asian fusion restaurant in Denver, Colorado. During their first date, two women were sitting next to them and were eavesdropping. When Tori went to the bathroom they both leaned over to Sheldon and told him how well they thought the date was going. And they were right. Tori and Sheldon moved to San Diego together the next year and were engaged a year after that. They were married in Aspen, Colorado in 2019 and now have been together for 7 years.

 

As you can tell, they have a love for the outdoors, ice cream, and Arsenal soccer! Both have recently relocated to Jacksonville, FL.
