We're Getting Married!

This love story goes all the way back to Frisco, TX in 2016. Bri & Gabe met while working as Camp Counselors at Plano Sports Authority, attending rival high schools, and opposite sides quickly attracted. After eight months spent together as best friends, Gabe decided to move the relationship to boyfriend-girlfriend on February 13, 2017. (The day before Valentine's day... what a romantic!) We now fast forward to 2018, when the first big adventure began: moving away to Oklahoma, both attending OU. This time together was spent growing up, learning how to adult, paying real bills for the first time, and making it through the COVID-19 quarantine. How fun! After a few more years, graduating, and a couple of new job opportunities, Gabe decided it was time to give this relationship another new title: Engaged! On December 2, 2023, Bri got home from work to find a new outfit laid out, sparkly heels sitting by the door, and the car running & ready to go. After a Christmas-light-filled drive to downtown OKC, they arrived at the Devon Tower, the tallest building in Oklahoma. It was also in this exact building that Bri auditioned & earned her dream role as a Thunder Girl - and little did she know, it was also about to be the home of her engagement as well! After a delicious meal and some gorgeous views, Gabe got down on one knee and popped the question - a surprise to many, but a delight for all. Not long after, they hopped on a plane and took a trip to the Colorado mountains to celebrate (and get some more photos taken - we know Bri loves her pictures). It's taken a little over a year to begin wedding planning, but this time has not been wasted at all. Over the past couple years, they have loved one another, supported each other through grief, celebrated each other's new accomplishments, and focused on the most important piece: Their relationship with the Lord. Now, we are so excited to celebrate the culmination of over eight (8) years of happiness, hard work, laughs, tears, and a whole lot of love together with all of YOU! No matter the time that has passed, or the distance between us now, each of you holds a special place in our hearts and our story - forever. Now - Why 8/8? There are two 8's that are significant to our story: - It took 8 months for us to start dating. - We have just completed our 8th year together. And now, we get to hold those 8's forever as we celebrate our marriage on 8/8. Double-infinity. Forever & ever, a love that lasts. We truly appreciate all of your love, guidance and support over the last 8 years and are so grateful to give you all a weekend of California time, fun, food, dancing, and drinks - which hopefully none of us will ever forget! We know destination weddings can be difficult, but we are so hopeful to celebrate with you. We haven't been able to enjoy a vacation with our loved ones in a long time... and what better reason to plan one than to celebrate a new chapter? Join us on our next adventure, where we will officially become one!
