They first met during their freshman year at the BSU Conference at the University of the Pacific. In the beginning, they were quiet around each other, still adjusting to college life. But as time went on, they started spending more time together—and that quiet connection grew into something special. They realized how much they enjoyed each other’s company. There was never a time that Gabe didn’t make Franny laugh, and being together just felt easy. Still, they were young and figuring things out, so they took their time and stayed friends. In 2019, everything changed. Gabe asked Franny to be his girlfriend, and without hesitation, she said yes. From that moment on, they stood by each other through every season of life, growing closer with each step. Now, six years later, they’re preparing to say “I do,” and they couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter. What started as a quiet beginning has turned into a lifetime of love.
