Gavin Parkos

and

Bailey Gillingham

October 12, 2024

Alexandria, MN

How we Met

We first met in 6th grade. We lived in the same neighborhood as kids. We started "dating" and by that, we rode the bus together in 6th grade until Bailey moved to a different elementary school. We went to different middle schools until we ended up at Burnsville High School. We saw each other in passing but didn't talk much and were on different paths. We both graduated in 2017. Bailey went to college, and Gavin joined the Marine Corps. Gavin sent Bailey a smooth and detailed Facebook message that said "Hey", which was left unread for 5 months. One day, Bailey randomly had a feeling to go on Facebook, and there was Gavin's message that started it all. And the rest was history.
