Looking back, we might not have met when we did if it weren't for Gabriel’s little sister, Ambrelle. She and Amy worked together for a few years and had a strong feeling we’d hit it off, she wasn’t wrong! Gabriel asked Amy out on April 24, 2021, we had our first date over a warm, delicious bowl of pho - shoutout to a Denver favorite, Pho 95. That first date turned into a summer we will always treasure, full of hikes, long conversations, and the sense that something special was growing between the two of us. When Gabriel moved to Riverside, California for surgery residency, we started our long-distance chapter. While this chapter tested us, it also helped us grow stronger and deeper in our connection. In February 2023, Amy hit Route 66 and made the move to Riverside to be closer to Gabriel, so they could continue dating intentionally and build their relationship side by side. A year later, Gabriel planned the perfect surprise proposal in La Jolla, with both of our families secretly watching from afar. When Amy said “Really?! Yes!!” they came running across the beach. It was wild, joyful, and completely unforgettable. Now, with hearts rooted in Colorado and eyes set on forever, we can’t wait to start this next chapter together!
