The day was a dream come true for Tori and Bobby, who were first introduced by mutual friends back in 2015. They’ve been courting for nearly a year, and even remained long distance while Bobby was in school.

“We’ve been looking forward to this day for so long and it’s finally here — we’re engaged! The day could not have been more magical, and the moments we shared will never be forgotten,” the newly engaged stars gushed to People. “It feels like a dream and our hearts are overflowing with excitement. Thank you for all of your love and support.”
