On Friday the 13th, after a long shift at Austin’s Live Fire BBQ, where Alora worked as a server and Gabriel a cook, Alora convinced Gabriel to go out and grab a drink. After several games of darts, Moscow mules, and lots of laughs, they weren’t ready for the night to end. From before only having small talk as coworkers to finishing each others sentences, the connection felt was undeniable. Alora and Gabriel then decided to go to a near-by lookout point in downtown, where they bought a cheap bottle of wine and sat on a windshield cover on the ground, under the stars. They talked until the sun came up, where time has truly stopped for them, it felt. They then decided to be the first customer’s at a local breakfast diner, Dolly’s, at 6AM. When they finally had to say goodbye, they wrote eachother a note and were excited to see eachother the next day at work, still unsure how or what would happen next. From that night on, Alora and Gabriel were inseparable. On August 17th, Gabriel asked Alora to be his girlfriend. The rest is history… and four years later are getting MARRIED!
