On a fateful day in November 2015, Chris and Gabriella met at a bonfire. The spark was instant and from the moment he saw her, Chris was determined to get Gabriella’s attention. After discovering a shared love for God, their families and each other, it became clear just how special their connection was. Throughout two apartments, the addition of a furry family member named Kane, and countless memories, their relationship grew into something they both knew could last forever. A year and a half after their first meeting, Chris knew Gabriella was meant to be his wife. While on their way to Aruba for Gabriella's birthday, Chris carefully stowed a ring in his grandfather’s shoe while navigating airport security. When they reached the island, Chris persuaded hotel staff to allow Gabriella and him on a private island with flamingos for her birthday - and so he could ask her an important question. By writing in the sand, Chris asked Gabriella to be by his side for the rest of their lives. Chris and Gabriella look forward to continuing their story and celebrating their love with the people they love the most. We can’t wait to see you December 2nd, 2018!
