So, picture this: Gabby, scrolling through a dating app, swiping right to start a conversation about the Tarzan soundtrack🤣Enter Martin, who, unbeknownst to her, is halfway across the world in South Korea. Gabby matched with him, not realizing she was on the fast track to a temporary long-distance relationship… because nothing says romance like 3 AM video calls!! Fast forward to their first in-person meeting: Gabby nervously waited at the airport, scanning the crowd for Martin. Was he going to be a charming prince or a complete weirdo? Not a weirdo!!!! Now, here we are, over one year later, with these two nerds who started their love story with a right swipe and some questionable internet connection, getting ready to say “I do.” Who knew that a dating app could lead to such a beautiful adventure? Cheers to love, laughter, and the occasional Wi-Fi outage!

They started chatting, and amidst the memes and late-night confessions, Martin decided it was a good idea to ask Gabby to be his girlfriend on Gabby’s birthday (not really though since in Las Vegas time it was still a day early 😅)before they even met in person. I mean, who needs a face-to-face meeting when you can declare your love via Wi-Fi, right? Gabby, probably thinking, “Is this guy for real?” said yes, and the rest is history.

The rings were in hand, but the grand proposal? Totally ruined—Gabby is sorry! 🤣 Gabby was itching to wear that bling, and the thought of waiting for the housewarming party felt like torture. So, in a fit of spontaneity (and maybe a little rebellion), we turned our Lake Tahoe Airbnb into a top-secret engagement hideout.
