Gabe and I met back in high school during football season, thanks to a group of mutual friends — shoutout to Gabe’s friends for making it happen! I was a freshman, Gabe was a sophomore, and what started as a simple introduction quickly turned into something special. From the very beginning, our relationship was built on a genuine friendship. We laughed a lot, supported each other through life’s ups and downs, and grew side by side as we navigated school, milestones, and everything in between. Over the years, that friendship only grew stronger, turning into a love rooted in trust, patience, and growth. Now, eight years later (and counting), we’re so excited to begin this next chapter together — carrying with us all the memories, lessons, and love that brought us here. We can’t wait to celebrate this moment with the people who mean the most to us.
