Amy still remembers the day Gabriel showed up in fourth grade at Sea View Elementary, their tiny school out in the middle of nowhere. New kids didn’t come around often, so his arrival didn’t go unnoticed. He was quickly assigned to Amy’s group, and she figured she might finally have some competition for “fastest reader in the class”—her top priority back then. She soon found out he wasn’t much of a threat, since he still hadn’t passed the ESL test (Gabe wrote this sentence 😂). From that moment on, they stayed in each other’s orbit, always aware of one another, but never really connecting... not yet. Fate stepped in again years later. In ninth-grade science class, they were paired up once more. This time, something sparked. They bonded instantly over their shared sense of humor and easy connection, and from that moment on, their story truly began. Over the next 15 years, Amy and Gabriel grew up side by side. They navigated life’s challenges, shared countless adventures, and built a relationship full of laughter, love, and fun. Perfectly content living the low-maintenance boyfriend-and-girlfriend life for many years, Amy and Gabriel finally decided to take the next step when Gabriel proposed during a trip to Niagara Falls, right next to Horseshoe Falls. Soaked from the mist (and an earlier chaotic boat ride where they half-joked they might not make it out alive), they shared a messy, unforgettable, and perfect moment that marked the beginning of their next chapter. Now, surrounded by their family and friends, Amy and Gabriel are so excited to celebrate their wedding in beautiful Rosarito, Mexico, and to begin the next chapter of their lives together.
