How Rob and Kori Met
Rob and Kori’s love story began through their best friends, Danielle and Noah, and unfolded over several years, miles apart.
Rob met Noah in 2004 while working night security at Cincinnati Mills mall in Ohio. They quickly became close friends, and even after Noah moved to Florida, Rob made annual trips down to visit.
Meanwhile, Kori and Danielle had already formed a deep friendship after meeting in 2000 while working at Adventure Island water park in Tampa. Their bond grew stronger when Danielle returned to Tampa after graduating from Florida State University in 2003.
In 2005, Danielle met Noah, and they were married by 2007. When their son Rafe was born in 2008, Kori would care for him once a month to give Danielle and Noah a well-deserved date night.
During Rob’s visits to Florida, he and Kori crossed paths a few times, but it wasn’t until June 2010 that they began spending real time together. Despite the spark, they decided the distance was too much and agreed to remain friends.
Fate had other plans. In November 2011, Rob and Kori reunited in Auburn, Alabama, where Kori was attending school. On New Year’s Eve 2011, they decided to take a leap of faith and officially began their journey together.
